I use Proton for Steam and Bottles for everything else. I was using WINE as a catchall term, since all of these technologies are fundamentally built on top of it.

I can only speak from personal experience, but NVIDIA with Wayland has been an absolute mess. My system seems to be stable right now, but there are still weird graphical glitches and artifacts when running games through WINE. Every third or fourth driver update seems to break something.

Also, I’d generally be skeptical of claims that the drivers work well due to “benchmarks.” A benchmark isn’t going to tell you that, for example, certain window elements fail to render entirely until you drag the mouse over them, at which point they suddenly flicker in.

I recently installed Silverblue alongside Windows and ran into this as well. I haven’t found a way to run the actual OS off the USB stick.

I hope this is shitposting/satire. For anyone who doesn’t understand why Wayland was created, I’d recommend taking a look at this talk by one of the Wayland (and former X) developers.

Yes, Wayland has problems. But something like it was sorely needed. X is an unmaintainable pile of hacks built on broken assumptions.
