Because it gets a black screen on Wayland? 
Because it got too many issues thank god i did not take a nvidia laptop
OK re-enabled iGPU in BIOS, removed from blacklist (in /etc/modprobe.d, not even sure that applies to my system/install).
No dice - same black screen on Wayland. Going to try the âsddm-gitâ install now and see what happens.

Go get intel 
Best gpu for linux i got intel tigerlake
Windows shows that its of 8 gb Ă_Ă
No luck. Booted into a very old-school looking login screen after the âsddm-gitâ install - but Wayland did not work.
X11 is, as always, working.
A tiny part of me wonders if KDE Plasma 6 will fix this for me. If soâŚhow might I go about trying that?
I think itâs a bug in the NVIDIA drivers maybe?
Edit: I know this is on Gnome but itâs still Wayland.
Edit: But then again it works for me but i only have the GTX 1060 gpu. The RTX 4090 is a whole different animal.
Oh fascinating. So I wonder if I set my main display down to 60Hz if that will fix things for the time being (not ideal though, of course - dammit Nvidia!).
If I set this on X11 however, it wonât be updated on the Wayland side though, right?
Iâm not sure? You can try it easily enough.
Edit: I only have 60 Hz monitors anyway and like i say my gpu is only the GTX 1060.
Hmm, alright - thanks for that link, it led me to search for other things. It is possible that specifically 120Hz on the latest series of Nvidia drivers, when on Wayland with multiple monitors, is just broken:

Just deleted the items in /.local/share/kscreen to reset monitor configuration, will reboot and seeâŚ
I see. I didnât look too far but i think there is some truth to some of it.
I believe I recall having that issue with nvidia + wayland in plasma 5.27 as well, but I believe it was fixed in plasma 6 which I am currently running from the testing repos with no problem. However, there were a few issues relating to this that werenât all caused by the same issue, so Iâm not sure if what is causing your issue specifically got fixed.
Also Iâm not using any of the wayland or gbm environment variables that you are using. It was my understanding that kwin dropped eglstreams support back during 5.24, so I donât believe the gbm variables are necessary anymore.
Who is using environmental variables. What are you referring to?
Iâm late to the thread I was replying to the OPâs original comment in which they posted the contents of their /etc/environment file.
WellâŚthat resolved it. Except first I tried 100Hz - on reboot got the same black screen. Set it to 60Hz - on reboot, it worked!
So something is wrong with Nvidiaâs drivers, as youâd suggested with that link, @ricklinux - at least for Wayland on KDE Plasma 5.27.
I am curious if this will persist with KDE Plasma 6 - willing to give that a try (for science!) since I have nothing setup on this install yet and will probably nuke it for a proper tabula rasa.
What was your way of installing it @d-air1 - your issue was frequency related too?
Yes i see but i donât know if it matters as i originally had those and was working on mine but i removed them for that reason also after reading more info. But again as i say the RTX 4090 is a whole different animal to my GTX 1060 card.
In the one post it said it was working at 165 Hz. Not sure what your monitors are capable of.
