Most of this article seems unnecessary in 2025 and is very specific to Arch. For most distributions you can simply install the (proprietary) nvidia drivers and you're good to go. There is generally no tweaking or command line changes necessary for Nvidia to work on Wayland, including multi-monitors with different resolutions and refresh rates. | ||||||||||||||

In Arch, the current NVIDIA driver automatically sets KMS and the kernel command line and hyperland changes are no longer needed. Basically it just works now. | ||||||||||||||

Correct. Running Ubuntu 25.10 with a RTX 50 series GPU and it just works. | ||||||||||||||

I had Nvidia up until a year ago or so. Every single time I had to do any kind of maintenance it was because of their drivers. Since I don't play any more games than Minecraft and don't really need a fancy gpu I have switched to intel. Now I have two things which I buy intel only. GPUs and WiFi. I have had one glitch with opengl under a VM, but I am not sure that is intel only since it also had issues with my Nvidia card. | ||||||||||||||

My "gaming" laptop is completely effed on most distributions, and forces me to use Linux Mint to select an older driver (which also causes problems.) | ||||||||||||||
