Title mixed up Wayland and Nvidia :) I don’t think you typically get a new GPU assigned on the fly as you select one window manager over another :D
Not with that attitude!
Well this is nice. One downside is that folks who play games without VSync can’t turn it off in Wayland as far as I’m aware.
We’re really losing the reputation with this one.
I’ve been using Wayland on Ubuntu 24.04 with Nvidia’s 555 driver and I have yet to see something seriously break because of it. 545 was unstable as hell, but 555 has been running perfectly. I’ve even got a working external display on my laptop with the 555 drivers, something I’d previously given up on with Wayland.
Plasma is much further along (having stuff like HDR and VRR working for instance) but things have gotten a lot better quickly with Nvidia+Wayland.
Did you try a GPU that’s 10 series or older?
My GPU is a 10 series, actually. Same generation as my laptop’s GPU, though that’s technically a Quadro I think.
Losing good reputation or losing bad reputation?
Losing a little bit of the remaining good reputation as a good and well documented beginner distro.
I think Wayland is at point now where I’d be comfortable recommending it to beginners. I’m on nvidia and just switched myself in the past month because I felt like it was finally ready.
To me this is actually a good move for Ubuntu’s reputation.
Wayland is pretty good but without the drivers (that are not provided by default on Ubuntu) you will have fractional scaling issues and probably other glitches
The noveau drivers don’t work with Nvidia cards on x11 either.
