I Tried Wayland on Linux Mint for 7 Days - It Was a Disaster
I tested Wayland on Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.3 with an NVIDIA GPU for one full week to see if it’s ready for daily use. The results were surprising. In this video I share my real experience, including black screens, crashes, broken keyboard shortcuts, drag-and-drop issues, OBS screen recording failures, Steam gaming problems, and video editing limitations. If you are wondering whether Wayland works well on Linux Mint with NVIDIA, this video shows exactly what happens in real-world usage.
