I have a question because I have not kept up with desktop remix for about 10 years. 10 years ago you could download a proprietary driver for Linux and Nvidia an

  That's how it works for me on Fedora 36. I use GNOME and drive four monitors including my laptop's with the 515.57 version of proprietary driver. It works very well for day-to-day use on X11, and very well for day-to-day use on Wayland. Here are my biggest problems: * On X11, after waking from sleep, fonts are sometimes garbled. This is easily fixed by restarting GNOME. I never have to do this with Wayland. * On X11, I always have to manually rearrange my monitors every time I plug them in, because some part of the stack doesn't know how to remember them. They work perfectly on Wayland. * On Wayland, GNOME's Night Light feature does not work. Night Light tints things red in the evening to help me sleep. * On Wayland, some apps misbehave in strange ways. Electron-based apps are sometimes slow to react to input, but updates have been fixing this. Also, Calibre's Ebook Viewer perpetually hangs. I have no idea why. Fortunately, switching between X11 and Wayland is pretty easy--just a log out and then back in after specifying which one I want. Gaming is different. It rarely works on Wayland. Much better on X11. But I don't game very much, so this is not based on a really wide selection.

    So basically Wayland/Nvidia is works pretty well, just no gaming?
