No, not directly, but kind of :)

The option to start a Wayland session is enabled by adding:

  nvidia-drm.modeset=1

to your kernel command line.

Secondly, mutter's Wayland backend needs to be found to WORK with it. If
it doesn't work (this bug), then mutter will hide the Wayland option
before you ever see the login screen.

So you should:

  1. Add nvidia-drm.modeset=1 to your kernel command line; and
  2. Either wait for this bug to be fixed in 18.04 or just use a later Ubuntu 
release which doesn't have this bug.
