Outdated meme, NVIDIA has had good Wayland support for over a year now
It didn’t work well for me, I tried Wayland recently with both nouveau and proprietary driver and encountered bugs. Had to switch back to X.
Interesting, what GPU and DE did you use? Distro? I was able to get things running smoothly on my GTX 1070 with Wayland and KDE Plasma.
With NVIDIA, you also do have to set up DRM (Direct Rendering Manager): https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA
2080ti with sway/wlroots. Distro is Gentoo.
I had everything set up properly, nouveau devs confirmed it was a bug (I was getting a kernel warning when using a certain OpenGL application)
The proprietary driver had unbearable flickering/screen tearing on Wayland.
I will say that besides that one application the nouveau driver worked great but unfortunately it was a deal breaker for me.
There’s an open issue for xwayland for a lot of the flickering issues under nvidia, with a lot of disagreement about how to solve the issue: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/issues/1317
Fuck nvidia. Bought Amd after almost 10y and I am not looking back.
