There is also another major problem: high latency in games while using Nvidia Optimus graphics.
For example, if my system has both nvidia-open-dkms and the optimus-manager profile.d <https://github.com/Askannz/optimus-manager/blob/master/profile.d/optimus-manager.sh>, then I run The Dark Mod <https://www.thedarkmod.com/> on both x11 and Wayland, if I move the cursor around I can VERY clearly perceive that the mouse latency on x11 is drastically lower. I need to bisect the culprit of this.
