Does NVIDIA really has issues with Wayland?

I’ve installed Garuda, and I got shocked how buggy the resolution was. I’ve tried to do some CVT commands but it didn’t work at all, so I tried to change to X11 and it was completely fine, like the login screen.

I’ve seen others complaining in the forum too, so I’m gladly to not be the only one :joy:

There’s no fixes for that? I’m losing something by using X11? Thanks :smile:
