Hyprland has NVIDIA patches specific to them by the way, they have a guide for how to set it up for Arch users on their wiki. There’s surprising number of people using Hyprland with NVIDIA because of it.
What about game support though? I’ve heard Proton/Wine stuff in general is a bit less functional on Wayland/Hyprland and with how on the edge it is for some games, I’m not in the mood to give more functionality up for better aesthetics
No, XWayland on Hyprland (and wlroots in general) has major issues with NVIDIA. My understanding is that it should be fine for Wayland apps, but if you need gaming then you’ll need to go somewhere else. Gaming on GNOME Wayland was fine for me when I still had used an NVIDIA card, I imagine Plasma Wayland isn’t too different.

Alright, now I’m intrigued
