I often have issues booting to the installer or first boot after install with an NVidia GPU.

Pop_OS, Fedora and OpenSUSE work out of the box. Those are all Wayland I believe. Debian/Ubuntu distros are a bad time. I think they’re still X11. It’s ironic because X11 is supposed to be the more stable window manager.

I think they moved to Wayland on 23.04 or 23.10. I just recently installed both to try and get a 7800xt working with PyTorch and the default was Wayland.

X11 is not a window manager.

Xorg

Neither.

Oh I get it, I originally said “window manager” rather than “window server.” You’re so helpful, thank you!
