Hmm, so as long as you have 510 or above on the Nvidia driver you should not be getting blocked by that. I’m unfortunately not sure then.
Perhaps you could try installing sddm which is KDE’s display manager (the equivalent of GDM) and see if it shows the Wayland option?
Pretty sure it doesn’t require the whole KDE suite, once it’s installed run:
sudo systemctl disable gdm && sudo systemctl enable sddm and reboot, then you should get SDDM and can try to change the session type at the bottom left.
Note that when using SDDM, you can’t lock your screen in Gnome since that is tied to GDM - you’ll get a notification saying that the screen lock isn’t available.
If SDDM doesn’t show it either, then somehow I think you’d be missing the actual session entry files? Not sure how that would happen though.
Yeah that’s what I’m unsure about unfortunately. I’d be very surprised if that disabled Wayland. At one point, there was some remote desktop software that disabled Wayland silently, to get around the security restrictions of Wayland… But this project wouldn’t be bound by any Wayland restrictions as far as I can tell.
