There is nothing Wayland can do about "nvidia's crappy drivers".

GamingOnLinux stats — AMD GPU 40% and raising.

40% is still less than the majority, and Wayland chose to break compatibility with X11 drivers, so they get to own half of this breakage

I expect they do not target world domination.

Anyone who wants stable, performant GPU today can buy AMD. Future is here. That's Wayland target.

I live in the past — Intel GPU, X.Org, xmonad. I've thought to wait a few more years but I've checked Sway, it works. I'll check waymonad, maybe it works, maybe I'll make it work.

Wayland GNOME and KDE works with NVIDIA.
