I just don’t see it. I run it on all my PCs with nvidia, amd, hybrid graphics, pretty much any combination (I have too many 😅). It works. Even various friends of mine have tried it on their older setups, no problems there either.
Unless you’re using something like Debian or whatever with crazy old packages, everything works for the most part. Nvidia is still not great on Wayland but it at least works now.
I’m not saying your experience isn’t valid, I’m not trying to gaslight you, but I’m not sure it’s representative of the average experience nowadays.
Nah just stuff I built myself or random laptops.
Some old Lenovo laptop with an Intel iGPU and an AMD GPU I can’t remember, worked out of the box but was a bit finicky for some things. I don’t remember what it was, it broke years ago.
ASUS TUF FX504GM (1060 maxq), zero issues on X11
Lenovo Legion 5 (3070 + AMD iGPU), zero issues, daily driver
Custom Desktop (1070 + Intel iGPU though I didn’t really use it), some issues but i was testing Wayland years ago. Good on X11.
Custom Desktop (7900xtx + 3080), zero issues, daily driver. It used to just have a 3080, which is fairly solid on Wayland as well but not perfect.
A few other random laptops and desktop some friends owned over the years, fairly smooth on pretty much all of them.
I’ve found in general that anything that doesn’t have an Nvidia card as the display output works fine. Wayland is getting quite usable on Nvidia as well, but there are still growing pains. Still, no black screens anywhere.
Sure I’ve tinkered a bit during the years, but I almost never had a black screen, much less stuff not booting, on install. I did brick my display drivers a few times (just Nvidia being a pain, mostly) but it was mostly my fault.
It may be that you’ve just been really unlucky. There are definitely hardware combinations out there that cause problems, but I haven’t really found any particularly problematic ones up until now.
