And as usual this is without any help from Nvidia

    That article doesn’t mention Wayland and I don’t have Nvidia card myself. So, can I go now and suggest Nvidia owners to use Wayland if their Mesa, Vulkan and Nouveau are up to date?

      Probably not yet as the gsp firmware loading that would allow full performance is not included in these patches and these patches will requires linux 6.6 to work at all while 6.4 is the current release.

      I actually came to this community to actually ask about the state of Wayland on NVIDIA lol. I have a laptop that has hybrid AMD/NVIDIA graphics and I want to FULLY switch to Wayland but it NEEDS to be stable enough to not cause issues while I’m working.

        I’m on a laptop with hybrid Nvidia/Intel graphics, and Wayland has been working fine for me. I typically run in “on-demand” mode, but I’ve used both strictly Intel and strictly Nvidia modes as well, and it’s been fine.

        I think the only real issue I’ve had is that Splitgate refuses to launch in Wayland, so I switch to X if I want to play - general computing works fine, native apps have had no issues, and all the other games I’ve played have launched without issue.

        The Nvidia GPU is a 1650 TI, and I’m on the Nvidia 535 driver.

        I have a 1060 and use proprietary drivers. On sway I sometimes have smal graphics glitches that go away when I hover them with my mouse. On Hyprland with the nvidia build I have experienced no problems.

        I have used Wayland on NVIDIA for couple of years now. It’s not perfect, but generally it’s usable and I haven’t used X11 after I switched. My current issues are probably more from applications not supporting Wayland, because XWayland can cause some annoyances when using programs through it.
