Ah, I always update the driver through the package manager and it never auto-updates.

You don’t need to update NVIDIA drivers every time there’s a release. I don’t even do that on my Windows machine. Most driver updates are just tweaks for the latest game, not bug fixes or performance improvements.

And hell, you’re using Linux. Vim updates more often than the graphics driver, what do you expect?

Been running Wayland for 2 years and only issue I had with it was Synergy not working.

Never had an issue with Nvidia on Linux. Yes, you have to use proprietary drivers, but outside of that I’ve been running Linux with Nvidia cards for 20 years.
