I run proprietary Nvidia drivers as well and Wayland runs so much better than Xorg now that I'm permanently coming over to Wayland. I'm extremely happy rn with Wayland

I had nothing but issues running Wayland with Nvidia. How strange.

    That's because the drivers are bullshit but not the problem in general. They work well for some very specific cards, not at all for other and in general it's just random hit or miss.

    And then, to make it more fun, not all wayland compositors are born equal either.

    Any recommendations? Or knowledge of which cards work best with it? I'm thinking on trying it out again, never tried it on my 3070

    Not to be flippant about it, but I just recommend trying it and seeing how it works for you. You can have both Xorg and Wayland installed, you just change out which one you're using at the login window
