I use X11 with Nvidia without issue. While I like the idea of Wayland, and it being pushed a lot now, it really remains beta software. While I think it's good Wayland is being focused on and promoted by the distros and DEs, I think it's a bit of a distraction from Linux as a whole.

I've had to switch back to X11 on both Nvidia and AMD devices due to bugs or compatibility issues in Wayland.

I agree about VR - I keep dual boot windows on my PC and VR is about the only thing I use it for now. But the result is I just use VR less.

I dual boot Windows for VR and Fusion360. Do alternatives exist? Yes, but it's just not something I want to spend hours tinkering with for what I perceive to be a worse experience.

I tried ALVR but it kept disconnecting if it connected at all. VD on Windows works flawlessly every time.

I suspect your issues stem not from hardware incompatibility but outdated kernel/applications. If i had to guess you run one of the 'stable' distros. Which translates to dealing with bugs for longer.

How out of touch are you? Thry are using the most up to date repo.

Nix has the largest and most updated repo of all of them by a large factor according to live stats.

Ah yes nix.... The famously immutable distro. Yeah 100% pebcac.
