Wayland has been in the works for years but do the Nvidia drivers play nice with it yet?

Short answer is No. However, RedHat and Nvidia are working together to fix that. Perhaps not in the way that certain members of the Linux community would prefer but still, collaboration is a good thing.

I tried out the Copr repo from the Nvidia folks on Fedora 26. That repo doesn't appear to support Fedora 27 yet, which is a bit odd, however it is probably meant to be a proof of concept anyway.

What's interesting about this whole mess is that the KDE developers have absolutely no intention of having Nvidia work with Kwin as a Wayland compositor.

If Gnome implements Nvidia's egl-stream method for Wayland compatibility, there may be a giant fracture in which DE's support Nvidia, and which ones don't.
