This has been my every experience with Wayland + Nvidia thus far. Tried Tumbleweed and Fedora both, nothing but display bugs as far as the eye can see.

Lets not even talk about trying to use Wayland in a VM desktop -- Even Firefox/Chrome don't render properly.

Does your card have proper DRM support (the linux subsystem for managing video buffers)? That’s what wayland builds upon (instead of patching the xorg binary with some proprietary extension).

WTF? I thought NVIDIA had adopted an open-source core? Is this seriously something outsiders can't fix?

They have since started supporting the linux kernel and implemented its APIs more or less. I don’t own any nvidia card, so can’t really speak from first-hand experience though.
