The open source drivers for Nvidia have sucked for years, meaning you need to use the proprietary drivers. The proprietary drivers frequently break on kernel updates and have historically been problematic to use in combination with Wayland.

Ouch. This hurts, and I amdit to being an NVIDIA fan, but it is very true.

And may your maker help you if you want to do some HW accelerated ML but accidentally upgrade one of the many NVIDIA components (driver, CUDA, CuDNN) to a version not compatible with that one key Python package.
