From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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?

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 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'm brave running Plasma on Wayland with Nvidia and it mostly works too. I have the same glitches and things as well.
