I've heard that Wayland works a lot better now on Nvidia GPUs, so I wanted to give it a try. I've heard that GNOME wants to focus on Wayland, and that it is selected by default. BUT... I can't find it. When checking the server in the terminal, it says X11. And when on the login screen, I can choose between GNOME and GNOME Classic, which is also X11. I really want to at least try it out, as the variable refresh rate and some of the screen taring improvements would really benefit me, but I have not yet found the right package (?) To install.

Though I am using Debian 12 but not with Gnome and not with Nvidia. Found this :

https://wiki.debian.org/Wayland

GDM3

GDM (GNOME Display Manager) will automatically use Wayland when supported, except when using the >proprietary NVIDIA driver, in which case it will fall back to X11 due to instability.
