Wayland Nvidia compatibility will be here soon™
Nvidia drivers needed explicit sync, which was not supported in Wayland. However, explicit sync has been merged into the Wayland protocol and should be here shortly. Gnome 46.1 already ships with it.
I do not understand fully but maybe drivers need a bit of configuration too to use this? I’m not sure of all the steps but it should be here soon
all the necessary things are already here on the linux side AFAIK
the only thing left is a stable release of their drivers with support for it, which should come relatively soon

I believe version 555 of the Nvidia driver is supposed to get the explicit sync patch.

Tbh im incredulous that explicit sync wasnt a thing from day 1.
Like what kind of sane API have you ever used that didn’t allow you to buffer / queue up operations and then flush them all at once?
Would explicit sync solve the xwayland electron apps from UI glitching and flickering?
IIUC, yes
