It <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omgubuntu.co.uk\/2021\/01\/ubuntu-21-04-will-use-wayland-by-default\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">attempted again in 2021<\/a> and has remained consistent since then.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>However, while <a href=\"https:\/\/wayland.freedesktop.org\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wayland<\/a> is now the majority&#8217;s choice after installing Ubuntu, those using a PC or laptop with an NVIDIA graphics card are instead directed to an Xorg\/X11 session. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>The cause of this issue lies in NVIDIA\u2019s proprietary graphics drivers. Many users, especially gamers, prefer these for their performance and access to full hardware capabilities. However, they haven&#8217;t been as supportive of Wayland as they could have been.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Fortunately, the situation has improved in recent years. NVIDIA has become more accommodating towards Wayland, partly because it is now a standard and a &#8216;maybe one day&#8217; solution, and partly due to its own ambitions, benefits, and security considerations.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>The NVIDIA and Wayland situation is now much improved, though it&#8217;s not yet perfect, according to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dedoimedo.com\/computers\/wayland-2024.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> this source<\/a>. Canonical&#8217;s engineers are confident enough to make the Ubuntu Wayland session the default one for NVIDIA graphics card users in Ubuntu 24.10, as they<a href=\"https:\/\/discourse.ubuntu.com\/t\/ubuntu-desktop-s-24-10-dev-cycle-the-roadmap\/45120?u=d0od\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">inform us<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>The Engineering Director for Ubuntu Desktop acknowledges that they&#8217;re still ironing out a few glitches with this combination, and that&#8217;s why they didn&#8217;t want to incorporate it into Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Ubuntu Desktop is widely used in several industries, including AI\/ML and VFX, so they didn&#8217;t want to rush things.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Interim releases, such as the upcoming Ubuntu 24.10, serve as platforms for testing significant changes planned for future long-term support releases. The sooner such a change is tested, the more real-world exposure it gets, and the more opportunities there are to rectify any potential issues.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>You don&#8217;t have to wait for Ubuntu 24.10&#8217;s release in order to see how things are progressing; you can try Ubuntu Wayland on NVIDIA now. Depending on the release version and NVIDIA driver you&#8217;re using, you might need to temper your expectations and make a few config adjustments.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p><strong>I don\u2019t have an NVIDIA graphics hardware myself so I\u2019m interested to hear from those of you who do: is this something you&#8217;re looking forward to? Or have you tried Wayland recently and found that support is still lacking?
