On Fedora
On Pop!_OS

Enable wayland on Fedora Workstation (gnome)

If wayland isn't working already (Wayland should be working even with NVIDIA GPU on Fedora in most of the cases) follow these

mkdir -p /home/$USER/backup/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/
sudo mv /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules /home/$USER/backup/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/

  1. Reboot.

  2. You should have the Wayland option in GDM password window's bottom right corner clog button.

Enable wayland on Pop!_OS 22.04

Wayland works out of the box on Fedora 38+

⚠️ It works for me but if something breaks for you, I won't be able to help. So please don't make these changes if you're pretty new to Linux and/or can't troubleshoot issues that may arise....

  1. In /etc/gdm3/custom.conf, comment out the below line

    WaylandEnable=false

    to this

    # WaylandEnable=false

  2. in /boot/efi/loader/entries/Pop_OS-current.conf, comment out below line

    RUN+="/usr/libexec/gdm-runtime-config set daemon WaylandEnable false"

    to this

    # RUN+="/usr/libexec/gdm-runtime-config set daemon WaylandEnable false"

  3. Enable DRM for NVIDIA driver: Add nvidia-drm.modeset=1 to /boot/efi/loader/entries/Pop_OS-current.conf

  4. Reboot and choose Wayland in after clicking on the clog icon on GDM login screen (bottom right)
