Tried to use Wayland earlier today on Ubuntu 18.04 for fractional scaling support, but sadly there is no support for nvidia drivers. This does not seem well advertised so posting as a PSA to save others from trying to debug the login loop!
- swalladge 7y agoTo clarify, it does support nvidia through the open source nouveau drivers. It's only the proprietary drivers that aren't supported.
- michaelmrose 7y agoYou mean it does not support the drivers that actually work?
- swalladge 7y agoYes exactly. I don't recommend nvidia.
- michaelmrose 7y agoThis is a good reason to select different new hardware but insufficient to get rid of existing hardware. If most people agree we can worry less in 5-10 years. Unless people work around it during this time frame in which case people can continue not caring.
- boudin 7y agoIt depends what you call working. Nvidia proprietary driver has a broken wayland implementation (a choice that nvidia made), whereas nouveau has a working one. Better pick AMD or even Intel GPUs on Linux as drivers are much better.
