I just set up a new system with a 4080 - things didn't really work under Wayland:

  • Steam was flickering with black areas, even after disabling hardware acceleration/tinkering with Flatseal
  • Firefox didn't use hardware acceleration, couldn't get it to work after multiple hours of debugging
  • Games on Steam weren't able to detect my GPU

Then I switched to X11, and everything has been running smoothly since.
