What display manager do you use? There’s a very very short list of ones that support wayland sessions: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wayland#Display_managers . And some of those don’t display themselves using wayland, they can only launch sessions.
I love my AwesomeWM setup. Unless someone completely rewrites it, it will never work with Wayland (as far as I have read the gh issues).
I need this PC to “just work” and I have seen a lot of problems with Wayland and Nvidia drivers, top-quality gaming is a secondary on this one so X11 has been the choice.
Though I am aware stuff is getting better, should probably try it anyway
Why can’t you have Wayland with Nvidia?

Backend hackery? You just install it and it works

OK then
True.
I mostly use fedora. I never had an issue with my 1080 or laptops 1060… But those are old now…
Kubuntu 23.04 comes with wayland preinstalled and it works with my Nvidia card

Good to know this… I’ve been messing around with arch, and endeavor. I noticed it defaults to xorg.
@HouseWolf @tostiman Wayland on EndeavourOS with KDE is so easy: just install plasma Wayland session, log out and select Wayland as login option…
