I’ve been on Wayland for the past two years exclusively (Nvidia).

I thought it was okay for the most part but then I had to switch to an X session recently. The experience felt about the same. Out of curiosity, I played a couple of games and realized they worked much better. Steam doesn’t go nuts either.

Made me think maybe people aren’t actually adopting it that aggressively despite the constant coverage in the community. And that maybe I should just go back.

    I tried Wayland out again last week and all it did was make my monitors flash white and black over and over again. Couldn’t get it to stop unless I restarted. No idea how to fix that since I can’t even do anything past the sign in screen lol. Maybe one day it’ll work.

          Install the proprietary NVIDIA drivers and set the nvidia-drm.modeset=1 and nvidia-drm.fbdev=1 kernel parameters via your bootloader command-line, then see what happens.

            I appreciate you trying to help, but I don’t understand what you just said to me so I’m gonna keep using x11 lol

          That might be the issue NVIDIA isn’t too tight with linux and is known to be a shitty partner in the relationship. Wayland suffers from that.
