And as usual this is without any help from Nvidia

    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 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 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.
