Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting the ongoing issues with NVIDIA driver support on Wayland in 24.04.
To clarify, the proposed changes to gdm3 and systemd-hwe-hwdb are designed to only affect specific OEM platforms—currently, those with AMD+NVIDIA hybrid graphics—by using targeted hwdb entries. This does not enable Wayland by default for all NVIDIA systems in 24.04, but rather allows OEMs to opt-in for select hardware where we have verified that Wayland resolves critical issues (such as incorrect GPU selection and Energy Star certification blockers). On these platforms, the AMD iGPU is correctly selected as the primary GPU under Wayland, and the known Xorg bugs are avoided. Other systems, including general NVIDIA-only platforms, will remain on Xorg by default.
