eGPUs are interesting. I have one too but it doesn't get tested very often. I suspect using Thunderbolt they will have connectivity bugs in the same way as high bandwidth displays do. So getting a really high quality Thunderbolt cable (like Apple's) is probably important. And/or keeping cable lengths as short as possible. Also I remember Nvidia's driver documentation mentioning they disable support for eGPUs as the primary GPU by default. The biggest issue I remember is that there is insufficient software support for disconnecting eGPUs at runtime.
For Wayland vs Xorg, two main reasons come to mind: 1. Security: In X11 any app can access and tamper with any window, by design. It's just not acceptable for modern security requirements. 2. GNOME is too complex to maintain with two backends. X11 gets neglected and bitrots when most people are only using Wayland. I should remind everyone else here that comments #22-#27 are off-topic for this bug and should be ignored. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1924689 Title: Window border corruption after changing display scale between 100% and 200% in Xorg Status in Mutter: New Status in OEM Priority Project: New Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Ubuntu release: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS Issue description: When the gnome-initial-setup launched, if user changes the scale 200 -> 400 or 100 -> 200.
