I’ve been lucky then, only problems I’m having (Wayland + NVidia) are:
Steam menu corruption, mostly on friends window (can be solved by maximising window)
Maximising browser on my second screen results in not all the screen being used, but buttons react as if they were using the whole screen (so you’re not clicking where you think you are). Solution is to resize window to maximum manually. Minor annoyance.
Oh and I disabled stand-by entirely. It’s was 50/50 if it would return from it. I think most problems are because I have mismatched resolutions (1080 and 1440).
In the screen, where you type your password to log into your computer, there is an option to choose which of the installed desktop environments / window manager you want to use.
On gnome standard login screen, it is down in the right corner, but there are many of this “lock screens” available and each can place the dropdown(or dropup, lol) anywhere they want. Just search your screen where you have to type your password to login for options.
That 2nd monitor window thing sounds like a DPI scaling issue, especially if your main screen has different scaling than the one causing issues. I get this a lot at work because of my setup and the software I use (on windows btw) and I got so used to manually moving the window and smashing it against the top of the screen to maximize it that I don’t really mind. But maybe the term can help you troubleshoot it further

And nothing sops you from starting a X session for a specific game, anyway
I fear top commenter lost patience just a tiny bit too early
Just out of curiosity, how would one do this (in general terms)?
I hope I never have to because I’m sure I would not figure it out lol

I’ve yet to have an actual game dislike wayland. But you’re right, there is always the option to swap.

I thought that too, and things got better when I set 1x scaling on both (it was 1/1.5) but it’s not stopped the problem entirely.
