I’ve stopped trying to use NVidia on Linux. I will usually have the display plugged into a Ryzen APU and have the NVidia GPU headless for compute stuff.

There are some positive movements though. For example the addition of explicit synchronization that the nvidia driver needs to function properly into DRI3 / Xwayland https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests... is active as of right now, and it seems that it will succeed. The corresponding mutter issue https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/3300

I will say my experience with Nvidia + Wayland has been better than most it seems. It may be because I typically use Fedora which sticks to pure GNOME while Ubuntu and Pop_OS bastardize GNOME.

Still, my main complaint is that moving windows around and so on is not smooth. I forget what the term for it is… the window gets jagged and it’s like parts of it are moving at different speeds.
