Ubuntu 24.10 Plans to Enable Wayland for NVIDIA Users
Ubuntu first switched to using Wayland as its default display server in 2017 before reverting the following year. It tried again in 2021 and has stuck with it since. But while Wayland is what most of login to after installing Ubuntu anyone doing so on a PC or laptop with a NVIDIA graphics card present are instead logged in to an Xorg/X11 session. This is because the NVIDIA’s proprietary graphics drivers (which provide the best performance, access to all hardware capabilities, etc) haven’t supported Wayland as well as they could’ve. Thankfully, things have changed. NVIDIA is now warming to Wayland

@omgubuntu er, i used wayland on nvidia before and after 2021. It smells more like canonical didn't want to do the work or pay to have it done.
I used non-free because i just didn't care enough - no nouveau.
gentoo with gnome and wayland.
