NVIDIA release fresh details on their current Wayland support and future plans
NVIDIA have put up a new official forum post going over the level of Wayland support available in their current Linux drivers, along with what future plans they have.

Can anybody comment what does this mean for a common user?
Not a ton in the immediate term from my limited understanding. Some QOL around configuration and system setup eventually. Namely the default kernel parameter mentioned- as that is basically mandatory to be set if you want Wayland to function on a nvidia card. But there will be certain things missing due to how Wayland works, some of those things have alternatives which will probably work and may even be more efficient. vGPU stuff probably won’t matter for the average person although it could eventually make it easier to pass-through a GPU to a VM (not for GeForce tho. You’ll need something more expensive). And uhhhh maybe slightly better Wayland VR support? Maybe slightly better/faster post-processing effects?
