The rule to disable Wayland support on Nvidia is important right now, because it prevents bug 1705369 which hurt a lot of users. Although I have made an attempt to fix that properly (comment #3), upstream did not like it and currently prefers using 61-gdm.rules.
I'm hopeful a magical solution to this issue will appear in driver version 470 but have no evidence to support that. More likely I think I will need to revisit or patch https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/625 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1887652 Title: Wayland not available with proprietary Nvidia drivers even when nvidia-drm.modeset=1 is set Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: With Ubuntu 20.04, GDM 3.34.1 (bundled with Focal), and the proprietary NVIDIA drivers, I am unable to use Wayland to login, and can only use XOrg. Debugging this a little, I found that wayland support is wholesale disabled when proprietary NVIDIA drivers are used by this rule: /lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules (coming from the gdm3 package), however it seems there may be more to this as well in upstream so this seems to affect mutter as well. To be clear, my system only has NVIDIA graphics, I do not also have an Intel integrated GPU, so this is not a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1862531.
