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.

That article doesn't mention Wayland and I don't have Nvidia card myself. So, can I go now and suggest Nvidia owners to use Wayland if their Mesa, Vulkan and Nouveau are up to date?
I actually came to this community to actually ask about the state of Wayland on NVIDIA lol. I have a laptop that has hybrid AMD/NVIDIA graphics and I want to FULLY switch to Wayland but it NEEDS to be stable enough to not cause issues while I'm working.
I have used Wayland on NVIDIA for couple of years now. It's not perfect, but generally it's usable and I haven't used X11 after I switched. My current issues are probably more from applications not supporting Wayland, because XWayland can cause some annoyances when using programs through it.
