Buys an NVIDIA GPU, complains it doesn't work with Wayland. Classic.
I've never had issues with my nvidia gpu on wayland.
I've never had to tweak anything to get it to work, it just works, even on a fresh arch install. I don't get it.
I can't even get past my login screen without my monitors losing signal. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. It's a beast I have to tackle again before they drop x11
What distro? Fewer problems on Arch is to be expected as it has more up to date software and drivers. On something that is improving quickly, like Wayland, that can make a lot of difference.
Thanks for responding. I use Arch and tried both open and propietary driver for nvidia. I'm still learning the ins and outs of using Linux so even when I search for solutions, a lot of it just goes above my head, haha. I'm sure I'll figure it out (or the problem would fix itself) eventually.
