The openSUSE Tumbleweed rolling release Linux distribution has begun rolling out the KDE Plasma 6.0.1, Gear 24.02 apps, and Frameworks 6.0 packages. Plasma 5 is being replaced within the Tumbleweed repository but openSUSE Tumbleweed isn’t yet transitioning to the Wayland session by default.
Are there any Arch based distros with KDE + Wayland by default?
Endeavor has X11 by default, right?
Endeavor and Arch both default to whatever upstream defaults to, so if you update Endeavor to plasma 6 then it will be wayland by default.
Had to switch back to X11 because of novideo being shit. Tried 525, 535, and 540 and vscode would flicker like that one light at the back of the gas station nobody likes to visit because all they sell are stale cigarettes
Also went back to x11 because of vscode flickering and redrawing badly. I’m not sure whether it’s an nvidia problem, a vscode problem, or a kwin-wayland problem though.
you might want to give this fix a shot!

That seems to have worked. Thanks.
The latest driver should be 550 series. If VS Code is running under xwayland then you are probably going to be waiting a few more months for explicit sync to be finished in xwayland and various other pieces of the graphics stack https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/967. Since vs code is electron you can try running it with the wayland command line arguments
--ozone-platform=wayland. There might be some other arguments you need to pass depending on the version of electron.I’ll have to look into this a bit more. The guy at the end of the comment chain says his chromium stuff is still flickering, but I’ll give it a whirl when I don’t strictly need a working dev environment :P
