> Related to Nvidia's refusal to work with everyone else on Wayland support, no doubt.

this is more complicated than I can really comment on, but from my understanding it was not an issue of nvidia's refusal to work on it so much as it was an issue of nvidia not being allowed a seat at the table to discuss it. the wayland protocol was effectively demanding a ground up rewrite with no ability for compromise purely because nvidia being closed source meant they weren't entitled to an opinion. which is... wow

I'm sorry that's the typical experience you've had with the driver, though I'm a little surprised by that actually. I don't run x on ubuntu, but I know there were some issues in the past where they were attempting to "smartly" configure the driver for certain setups and instead end up causing headaches. Though that is really my main issue with ubuntu in general, that they try to "help" you because they know best, and also one of the reasons I don't run it. I just use the runfile installer and let it auto-generate the base xconfig.
