Nvidia-470 has Wayland support if you add kernel parameter nvidia- drm.modeset=1
Also the Nvidia web site (driver downloads) clarifies the difference between the two current driver branches. Defaulting to 470 might still be a good idea for LTS... Production Branch (470): Production Branch drivers provide ISV certification and optimal stability and performance for Unix customers. This driver is most commonly deployed at enterprises, providing support for the sustained bug fix and security updates commonly required. New Feature Branch (495): New Feature Branch drivers provide early adopters and bleeding edge developers access to the latest driver features before they are integrated into the Production Branches -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1959362 Title: "Launch using dedicated graphics card" option absent (nvidia, proprietary drivers, on-demand PRIME mode) Status in OEM Priority Project: Invalid Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Device: Dell Precision 5500 with discrete nvidia Quadro T1000 Mobile GPU Image: Jammy daily (20220126 build) Test steps ========== Secure Boot enabled Installation options: - used ubiquity (not the new flutter installer) - normal installation - checked "Install third-party software for graphics and Wi-Fi hardware and additional media formats" - left "Configure Secure Boot" checked - Setup a password for Secure Boot MOK enrollment - Used "Erase disk and install Ubuntu" option After installation completes, the device reboots and I enroll the MOK in the UEFI BIOS. At first boot, the default GNOME session is "Ubuntu" (not "Ubuntu on Wayland"), which seems to be expected given that I am using NVidia proprietary drivers. Once logged in, nvidia-settings and GNOME Settings About screen both show that the GPU is available. It is set in "On-Demand" in nvidia- settings. -------------------- $ switcherooctl Device: 0 Name: Intel® UHD Graphics Default: yes Environment: DRI_PRIME=pci-0000_00_02_0 Device: 1 Name: NVIDIA Corporation TU117GLM [Quadro T1000 Mobile] Default: no Environment: __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 -------------------- Expected result =============== When right-clicking on an icon in the launcher (for instance Firefox or Files), a "Launch using dedicated graphics card" option is available and launches the selected software using Nvidia GPU.
