I played with Wayland and decided it is not for me.

I'm running 3x 28" 4k@60 driven from nVidia using prop driver with an Openbox at the Window manager. It is working great. Super fast, super snappy, fonts look fantastic. Same goes for video. I have one monitor dedicated to code, one monitor monitor dedicated to logs ( 6-10 tmux windows ) and one monitor used as a general workspace.

Nvidia proprietary plus Wayland is a no-go as of now. My solution to Nvidia is "just use AMD". They got decent offers for low and mid end.

Open source nvidia driver leaves quite a lot to be desired. In my setup it crashed/locked up at least weekly.
