Fedora does not distribute NVidia drivers. You got them from a third
party. They are not "supported" except maybe by the third party.

Wayland works perfectly well with Fedora kernels. The proprietary
NVidia driver is not part of the Fedora kernels.
Fedora does ship an interface for NVidia cards, but it's in the nouveau
drivers. If you don't use those, then it's not from Fedora. It's up to
NVidia to provide the interface for wayland to use in their drivers.

AMD. They work great out of the box.
If you have trouble getting an NVidia card to work on Linux, go complain
to NVidia.

Ok, I take it that this mailing list is no more than a bad joke and only
useful for trolls. Everything that has been said so far is entirely
irrelevant and nothing new.
AMD is no alternative. Graphics cards from ATI and later AMD have always
been troublesome pieces of junk that have never been working right for over
20 years now. Give me a free AMD card that gives me at least the same
performance and reliability as my current NVIDIA card and I'll try it.
