I don't normally try non-LTS, I decided to give 19.10 a go, and I noticed the performance boost. What was a real pleasant surprise was that my NVidia GPU drivers were automatically installed, something I've always had to do myself before.

Glad to hear it. 18.04's NVidia on Wayland situation is so broken it's ridiculous. It's a major headache for any kind of machine learning workstation.

  NVIDIA on Wayland is still ridiculously broken and NVIDIA has zero desire to fix it. The "solution" is to continue using Xorg.

    Unless you need CUDA, the solution is to use AMD.

    That may be true but it's no excuse for Ubuntu's gdm + desktop setup refusing to work out of the box without a bunch of command line fiddling. It's like they didn't QA it at all despite it being a very common setup on an LTS release.

If been having serious issues with my Nvidia card and 18.02 (driver is installed properly, but games either dont recognize the card name or misreport card details). Is there anything in 19.10 that might improve this? I've already updated my kernel so excluding that.
