I don't currently use Wayland as I'm on KDE, but I have briefly tested it in F33 under Gnome. My hardware is of a similar age, i.e. the mobo is at least 8 years old and the GPU is a GTX-1050 from 2017, using the RPMfusion driver. It all worked fine. I sincerely hope it will continue to work under F34 when Wayland is supposed to be supported for KDE. F33 was a clean install of Fedora Workstation, so I presume that's where Wayland came from. If the OP installed the KDE spin it may not have been installed by default. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
