I don't know the specifics, but there's a good chance that your issue is ultimately because Nvidia wants to keep stuff closed, and Linux is not their main market - at least for actual graphics, I guess these days it's a big market for GPU computing. So it's the interface between closed and open source that's giving you grief.

I don't think this is nVidia issue. Wayland/nVidia woes are primarily about flickering, empty windows and other rendering problems. I may be wrong, but I believe HiDPI support is mostly hardware-independent issue.

If it isn't a hardware independent issue, they really fucked up Wayland.

Oh wow. They really did fuck up Wayland.

It doesn't work properly on Intel or AMD either. It just sucks worse on NVidia.
