It’s not difficult to install the drivers. I recently had to swap out my 3090 for an AMD card because Wayland just crashes and works poorly with Nvidia.

You should probably rephrase that to say Nvidia crashes and works poorly with Wayland.

Saying Wayland works badly with Nvidia is a bit like saying Linux doesn't support Photoshop, rather than the other way around.

Not really, the wording completely changes who is at fault.

When you say Wayland doesn't work for Nvidia, it's blaming Wayland, but Linux/Wayland isn't at fault here, Nvidia is for providing drivers that aren't fit for purpose.

If Nvidia drivers broke on Windows, nobody would say "Windows is broken for Nvidia", they'd say the opposite, but with Linux we act like the problem is Wayland, for some reason.
