Those both default to Wayland for boot them up to live CD and test away

I expect Wayland cinnamon will be good enough to use by next years Ubuntu LTS. And the default in the next LTS after that.

Maybe.

Not to my knowledge

I use fish, mostly because it is the default on CachyOS

Tripling does mean anything. I mean it is a good thing. But going from 1-3 is also tripling.

I see people having a good to great experience with NVIDIA on Wayland. I lack that ability, I can never get my PC to run well on Wayland. (using the propriety drivers) hoping the new GSP firmware and the improvements to MESA-Nouveau + NVK fixes my issues. even if their are teething pains. because of how unusable it currently just is for me. course if I had the money, the easiest fix to make Linux usable for me is to buy a AMD GPU. FYI, I have a 2070Super. It is a consistently bad experience on it, with the NVIDIA propriety drivers.

Nobara. Which is just a ootb gaming optimized Fedora.
