Hm. I am currently using Ubuntu 24.10 and it also has Wayland and gnome as a default, with the nvidia 565 driver. And it is really, really bad. For example, i use chrome and the tabs, man, it takes ages to switch from one tab to another and to get focus in the location bar again.

So much for the whining. I do not know what to do. I could record this behaviour, but it somehow needs to show the timestamp of when i intend a behaviour and the time, that behaviour becomes actualized.

I used to be quick with all the hotkeys but i do make so many mistakes now, because the system is simply not responsive and all my instincts await instant action.

Won’t get you end to end latency, but should be able to trace the input events through chrome, and show the context swaps of all the Wayland/dbus stuff.

EDIT: looks like Linux system tracking is more work, but possible https://perfetto.dev/docs/quickstart/linux-tracing


Thank you!
