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.

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