From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Damn lies. Nvidia works like shit on Wayland and newer kernels.
Working fine for me on Fedora 40 with a 6.12 kernel. You need to ensure your desktop environment is modern and supports explicit sync. KDE added support in Plasma 6.1, so Plasma 6.1 and Nvidia driver 560 or above should have no issues. I don't use GNOME but they added support in 46.1 as far as I know.
One of my favourite underrated things about Wayland is that I could finally disable pasting when clicking the mousewheel. That's so ingrained into XFree86/X11 that it's impossible to disable.
(disabling it only affects apps that use Wayland)
On Arch+KDE Plasma it's nearly perfect for me with a RTX 3070
It's actually working mostly fine me now with KDE 6.2.1, kernel 6.11.3, and nvidia 5.60.something. I get janky scrolling in firefox but apart from that it's been fine.
I found that Firefox scrolling was janky even with X11 when using a mouse. You can turn off smooth scrolling in the options, and turn off kinetic scrolling in about:config (
apz.gtk.kinetic_scroll.enabled).Kinetic scrolling off and smooth scrolling on is so much better. Thanks for the hint.
