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.
Looks fantastic! Although, speaking of the Night Color settings - does anyone know how the location data for the auto night color mode is sourced? It always seems to place me on a different continent...
Hmm, I know at one point GNOME/GDM locked out Wayland for Nvidia cards - but that hasn't been the case for a while (and possibly was distro specific).
Is there any output from:
cat /etc/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules
cat /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules
Out of curiosity, and I can't think of why it would affect it - the WaylandEnable=
is generally commented out instead of explicitly set. What happens if you put a #
in front of that line to comment it out again?
I imagine that is the case, however they could refund it given the situation.
I get the feeling they won't allow refunds.
