It will make your screen blacker.

But it all seriousness, your display manager might not support Wayland. Try something like ssdm.

I'm using SDDM and it lets me select Wayland as an option just fine, Just my Nvidia card won't load my desktop then.

I'm going full AMD next time I upgrade but that's gonna be a while away...

Nothing you can do then. Stay on x11 until nvidia get their shit together.

They just did now that explicit sync is merged everywhere except wlroots

It should work with the latest Nvidia driver. It does for me.

how on earth do I know what DM I'm using? Does it come with the compositor? I just start hyprland from the terminal without adding anything to systemd.

Oh, lightdm has some trouble sometimes on my other computer, are you saying that I could somehow start i3 without it when it breaks itself?

You could start it directly from tty with startx https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xinit
