Ya know, I've never had a Linux box that had any of the problems listed about modern windows. Also all the advantages listed about Windows XP are also present in Linux...

I’m on Fedora 39 and nvidia drivers work great on Wayland (gnome)

Huh, I’ve had so many problems running Wayland KDE on Arch with nvidia drivers. Maybe I should give gnome another try

Hi, your issue with nvidia on Wayland is probably Xwayland (see: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests...) I'd see if https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xorg-xwayland-explicit-sy... and possibly KwinFT works out for you.
