At one stage Ubuntu seemed to be definitely planning a move to Wayland. Because of it's performance however they may be pulling back from that:

As a Fedora user I can understand the reluctance. The recent upgrade to Fedora 26 has given me a ton of gnome crashes which I think are Wayland related. Commentary on Fedora channels tends to be along the lines of "Wayland is great and works for everyone (OK, maybe not those with NVidia cards)".
If Ubuntu has millions of users it may have millions of NVidia users. Putting them onto unstable technology to pressure Nvidia into supporting Wayland wouldn't be a great move.
- Iv 9y agoI say if/when because I have read about Ubuntu plans to switch for at least two years. Therefore I can understand Nvidia's lack of haste. They will support the version/fork that Ubuntu chooses. No point in wasting resources until then. Of course that would not happen if they opensourced their drivers but I kinda lost hope about that...
