Are We Wayland Yet?

I have a question because I have not kept up with desktop remix for about 10 years. 10 years ago you could download a proprietary driver for Linux and Nvidia and it would actually work great. Is that still the case today or are you just completely hosed if you have Nvidia graphics?

That's how it works for me on Fedora 36. I use GNOME and drive four monitors including my laptop's with the 515.57 version of proprietary driver. It works very well for day-to-day use on X11, and very well for day-to-day use on Wayland.

Here are my biggest problems:

* On X11, after waking from sleep, fonts are sometimes garbled. This is easily fixed by restarting GNOME. I never have to do this with Wayland.

* On X11, I always have to manually rearrange my monitors every time I plug them in, because some part of the stack doesn't know how to remember them. They work perfectly on Wayland.

* On Wayland, GNOME's Night Light feature does not work. Night Light tints things red in the evening to help me sleep.

* On Wayland, some apps misbehave in strange ways. Electron-based apps are sometimes slow to react to input, but updates have been fixing this. Also, Calibre's Ebook Viewer perpetually hangs. I have no idea why.

Fortunately, switching between X11 and Wayland is pretty easy--just a log out and then back in after specifying which one I want.

Gaming is different. It rarely works on Wayland. Much better on X11. But I don't game very much, so this is not based on a really wide selection.
