From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What hardware do you have? I have all AMD, and it works just fine on Nobara on Wayland.

Unfortunately, NVIDIA. I was buying a new PC half a year ago, and only started even considering to make the switch to Linux few months after that, so I am at a pretty unlucky point where I just had recently spent a lot of money for new-gen PC, but without knowing that I should really go for AMD.

I will make the switch to AMD as soon as it's justifiable, but I'm too lazy to deal with second-hand resale and it's hard to justify a new GPU when I still have the current gen, but from wrong manufacturer.

I totally empathize. I did the same thing at the end of 2020 and just switched to an AMD GPU last month.

I had numerous problems with Wayland when I had an NVIDIA video card. Since I switched to an AMD video card, it has been a blissful experience. Wayland now works perfectly.

You could sell your old one and buy a new one. I think people are still buying up Nvidia GPUs like crazy.
