True, but Nvidia has come a long way and I believe announced support in the recent months, but don't quote me on the last part. I have a desk and laptop both with Nvidia GPUs, and I don't have any issues. Wayland did not work until 4-6 months ago, but everything is pretty stable now.

My biggest fear is that so far Nvidia has a track record of introducing regressions and new bugs with each new driver version. Just a week ago all my flatpaks weren't working on Wayland, again. It happens almost with every single update. Some games that are native or platinum randomly stop working and it takes several updates before they start working again. While on AMD everything just works all the time and regressions are solved in a day not weeks. It's just annoying.

That's fair. My next build will be AMD. I only switched to Linux the past December, and I already had my gear, so it is what it is for now. Further, my case is too small for new GPUs, so I'm riding my 2080ti to the end.
