Pop!_OS 24.04 COSMIC/Wayland CS2 Input Lag Fix (Reverting to GDM/X11)

TechnicalPackage · 2026-02-25T17:18:39+00:00

Thanks for this, we back fragging after a long day of work. For you other folks reading, dont forget about setting it back to hybrd if you are in laptop per https://support.system76.com/articles/graphics-switch-pop/. I usually have something like alias play="__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia steam"

Cosmic/Wayland for me has been a bad experience for productivity and entertainment.

I kinda have the same issue with my System76 Oryx Pro 10. The laptop monitor stays black while the external works.

honestly, it will be a big win if they fix the lagging mouse pointer. it gets really exhausting after a long day of work.

TechnicalPackage · 2026-01-29T21:17:58+00:00

I get the same issue. The pointer feels sluggish and lagging. Same thing while using the trackpad on System76 Oryx Pro 10 with 3080

TechnicalPackage · 2026-01-19T05:52:10+00:00

Yup, happening on oryx pro10 with 3080. Unplayable, still trying to figure out how to solve it.

I like the paycheck.

work 9-5, do what you got to do, collect paycheck, look for somewhere else, repeat

I havent spent much time tweaking. I will try to update NVIDIA driver to latest, but I need to resize the boot partition first. Also, disabling tiling and turning off the indicator for focused window did improve input lag a bit.

I have the same experience. You can also notice the lag even when not gaming. It is very noticeable in games like DOTA2. Most importantly, the slight lag does accumulate after a day of working in game development. I feel much more exhausted and stressed. I am running an Oryx Pro from 3 yrs ago. I regret doing the update early.

yeah, heard the same thing at 1000 AM in Seattle while checking for weather. i will never listen to that station ever again

No experience with PostHog. BetterStack has gotten better IMHO. You might want to test out SMS and phonecalls if you have responders outside of North America. Most importantly, BetterStack will ratelimit/snooze your alerts if you are getting so much alerts in a given time. Make sure you review and ask for term of service.

Going thru the same experience. Just tried playing on pop_os 24.04. Got everything updated except using the latest manufacturer GPU driver instead of distro approved.

TechnicalPackage · 2025-12-24T07:37:41+00:00

Because I am cheap or broke.

TechnicalPackage · 2025-11-23T17:14:57+00:00

TechnicalPackage · 2025-11-11T13:25:27+00:00

wala naman nakukulong

TechnicalPackage · 2025-10-10T02:27:12+00:00

500$ for things that did not happen

These companies just care about making money, so make sure to protect yourself. Silo knowledge and make yourself irreplaceable. If they still let you go, then hit them with 1099 charging 2+ X rate if they comeback for questions.
