How is NVIDIA for Wayland? I heard that previously it was an absolute nightmare, but I have Sway setup on my laptop and I’m wondering if it’s time to switch my desktop too.
I’m just coming back to Linux after a 5 years break. Ive gone the latest Fedora on my laptop and if I understood it right it’s using Wayland on GNOME. I have the Nvidia drivers installed from the store, so no external repos or command line trickery, everything went smoothly and honestly the whole OS works better and visual glitches were gone instantly. Honestly the whole experience is vastly upgraded compared to the last time I used Linux.
When bringing gaming to the equation I am honestly impressed with the current state of Proton, I tried a few heavy games where I’d expect all sorts of weird graphical glitches if they were running on wine back in the day and for my surprise they work absolutely fine and even better than on Windows, like No Man’s Sky, Risk of Rain 2. The only thing not right is having 2 monitors with different scales or just having a high dpi screen in general, sometimes apps don’t scale right, so I just changed the resolution.

All in all really a fantastic experience so far.
