Anyone on the most recent LTS Kernel (6.18) with an older nvidia GPU will not have a good experience on Wayland. I have two machines with Pascal GPUs and:

- The nvidia binary driver is shit with Wayland

- The nvidia OSS driver does not support Pascal GPUs.

- Nouveau got a bunch of stability improvments in Linux 6.19, without which Wayland crashes roughly weekly.

You can get a stable system either by using the latest kernel+nouveau or:

  MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=kms_swrast

but performance is rather abysmal.
