What display manager do you use? There’s a very very short list of ones that support wayland sessions: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wayland#Display_managers . And some of those don’t display themselves using wayland, they can only launch sessions.
I love my AwesomeWM setup. Unless someone completely rewrites it, it will never work with Wayland (as far as I have read the gh issues).
I need this PC to “just work” and I have seen a lot of problems with Wayland and Nvidia drivers, top-quality gaming is a secondary on this one so X11 has been the choice.
Though I am aware stuff is getting better, should probably try it anyway
Why can’t you have Wayland with Nvidia?

Kubuntu 23.04 comes with wayland preinstalled and it works with my Nvidia card

@HouseWolf @tostiman Wayland on EndeavourOS with KDE is so easy: just install plasma Wayland session, log out and select Wayland as login option…
Good to know this… I’ve been messing around with arch, and endeavor. I noticed it defaults to xorg.
Backend hackery? You just install it and it works
