I just bit the bullet and moved to Wayland. I've heard mixed things about people on 10-series hardware, but things work pretty well on my 3070Ti. My guess is that the drivers are slightly different across generations, and parity still hasn't been a priority. I decommissioned my 1050 back in my x11 days, I wish I could tell you how well it worked with my current setup.

I'm also running everything on NixOS, so assume there's a fair bit of fairy dust blessing the config. Besides enabling modeset and cudatoolkit manually though, I don't think there's much special about my software setup.

I definitely noticed the driver issues increasing as my GPU got older. On windows I spent hours looking for driver versions that work with all my games and then didn't update for months.

If it wasn't for AI, I'd upgrade to AMD right now. But ROCm and the CUDA translation layer don't quite seem to be there yet.
