From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

No wayland option despite fresh gnome install (Debian 12, testing, nvidia) (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

This is something I have been stuck on for a while.

I want to use Wayland for that variable refresh rate and some better handeling of screen recordings.

I have tried time and time again to get a wayland session running with the proprietary nvidia driver, but have not gotten there yet.

Only the X11 options are listed on the login screen. When using the fallback FOSS nvidia driver however, all the correct X11 and Wayland options show up (Including Gnome and KDE, both in X11 and Wayland).

Wasn't this fixed, like, about a year ago? I have the "latest" proprietary nvidia driver, but the current debain one is still pretty old (535.183.06).

Haven't used Debian in a while now, but back when I did, Wayland never did appear in the sessions dropdown on a fresh install with an nvidia card and nvidia proprietary drivers. Doing what is explained in the following link always worked for me though:

https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#Wayland

Apologies if you have already tried this, but as I said, I've luckily not had to do more to get it to work, so hopefully it's the same for you.

Just tried it, and sadly that didn't change anything after a reboot.
