I'm not a Linux noob, but I've been out of the scene for a few years.
Recently tried debian with KDE and Wayland on a modern PC with a 3060. Just a default install.
My mouse could barely track across the screen, it was very choppy and stuttered like crazy.
This was in the last 6 months. I got it fixed by switching to a different compositor, but I shouldn't have had to do that. Even then I found YouTube to be super laggy.
It's just not ready.
I had the exact same experience with Debian. The thing is, Debian is so many versions behind, it's really no surprise that you thought it wasn't ready yet. Try a less "stable" distro, you'll be surprised.
i am a Linux noob. i installed debian KDE wayland with an Nvidia card just like you.
i experienced similar issues. i couldn't set my refresh rate above 60Hz, my screen was really dim and stuttering, and video playback was lagging. worst of all my Minecraft framerate was abysmal! (<20fps default settings)
i read the dang wiki and got everything running smoothly in an afternoon
it's ready as fuck
Yes I'm also capable of reading the wiki but it did nothing to help me.
My point stands that it's not "ready" for the average person. This is a Linux community of course people here know how to troubleshoot and get shit working.
that means it's not ready...
