About time. Wayland has worked great for several years on Intel and AMD systems. Nvidia is finally caring to catch up.

Its perpetually fixed the next common Xorg complaint, including disabling vsync, redirection outside of the DE for fullscreen apps, multi monitor scaling, fractional scaling, global keyboard shortcuts, a tiling wm implementation, HDR support, session restore, and soon remote access

The software that doesn't support it and doesn't want to support it will never adapt and have alternatives.

Its been ready, reliable, and a much better experience for so long. Ubuntu coming around is a testament to that.
