    It didn’t work well for me, I tried Wayland recently with both nouveau and proprietary driver and encountered bugs. Had to switch back to X.

        2080ti with sway/wlroots. Distro is Gentoo.

        I had everything set up properly, nouveau devs confirmed it was a bug (I was getting a kernel warning when using a certain OpenGL application)

        The proprietary driver had unbearable flickering/screen tearing on Wayland.

        I will say that besides that one application the nouveau driver worked great but unfortunately it was a deal breaker for me.

          Wait— doesn’t sway require you to enter my-next-gpu-wont-be-nvidia to launch?

          I didn’t think sway would ever work with Nvidia.

            With nouveau you don’t need any special flag, with the proprietary driver you have to use --unsupported-gpu or something like that

          Nouveau sucks for anything post 1000 series, it’s just not there yet.

          I’m on Gentoo and my 2000 (and 3000) series card is perfect on Wayland under KDE Plasma.

          Give it another go - I’m pretty sure your issue isn’t “Wayland” or NVIDIA".

            I’m an i3 user so sway was the easiest way to transition for me, so I think I’ll just wait for sway to improve with regards to NVIDIA drivers before I give it another shot.
