A second libX11 flaw is stack exhaustion from infinite recursion within the PutSubImage() function of libX11… This vulnerability has been around since X11R2 in February of 1988.
Due to these issues coming to light, libX11 1.8.7 and libXpm 3.5.17 were released today with the necessary security fixes. More details on these latest X.Org security vulnerabilities via today’s X.Org security advisory.

Even if you have an nvidia card, it’s… fine now? With a 1080Ti, and Plasma, I haven’t really had any issues on the Wayland session, that aren’t straight up KDE bugs
Until the next NVidia-specific workaround is required.
I mean, fingers crossed we don’t, but so far this has also not been an issue for a year or two, in my case. Cruising happily
Still no VRR support which is likely a dealbreaker for many.
Like I’ve said, it’s not flawless. There are things missing, but in the larger scheme of things, it is both usable and stable. In my daily usage, I have not encountered any dealbreakers
Can’t you use VRR on KDE?
With AMD you can. GSync isn’t supported on Wayland.
Series 10 is safe to use in wayland?
Removed by mod
Cool, thanks!
