I have a older desktop running a Nvidia GPU. It’s fast and works pretty well but I’m stuck in X11. I just don’t have the energy to drive into the forums and see why Wayland isn’t working.
I want a Stream Deck mostly because Valve’s support behind supporting the device.
I’m not defending Nvidia, but my Nvidia laptop works prefectly fine with Wayland. And then I wanted to play games so I bought an egpu enclosure and put 1080ti in there and it worked prefectly fine OOB. Then I wanted to upgrade so I put 7900xtx in there and no driver, version, config or voodoo allowed me to use it.
Not to mention VERY limited compatibility with ML libraries.
So, I don’t really understand this, but., why use Wayland? All I ever read about with it is problems about compatibility and functionality. I don’t understand what the benefits are. Or what it does that do different than x
I just feel that on Linux if you stay too long on software after a newer, shinier tool is available - you quickly get left behind. And it’s not like Wayland is some alpha software from an obscure dev. I’ve been daily driving it for years on my work/fun laptop with very few issues. And it did solve a few problems for me mostly to do with multi monitor setup.

I’m using Nvidia with Wayland without any issues. What’s the problem exactly?
I think, Nvidia
