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.

I thought Wayland still didn't work with nvidia cards?
Its the opposite
Pretty sure Wayland does not just work with nvidia cards.
No its Nvidia that doesnt work with wayland, they need to fix their drivers.
Honestly don't care who needs to fix something but "works with" is not that kind of relation. Either A works with B and B works with A or neither do. There certainly is no "opposite" involved here.
I think what youre looking for is do they work together
I think they mean Nvida cards don't work with Wayland - i.e. it's Nvidia's fault.
I honestly don't really care whose fault it is but it is a rather large part of the potential user base that would be cut off by this change.
It works, nowhere near as good as AMD but it works.

According to https://arewewaylandyet.com/ nouveau has support for wlroots and sway
