I recently switched to GNOME from hyprland. It works but I cannot get a wayland session to work.
On GDM's session select menu, there's only "GNOME" and "GNOME Classic"
I use a hybrid graphics laptop with nvidia-open driver installed. I tried following https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GDM#Wa … DIA_driver and this post https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=290166, but it doesn't seem work for me.
Here are some info about my system:

From what I know, Wayland should work out of the box since all of the stuff GDM need are already enabled by default.

Just some Sanity checks.
in GDM, are you selecting the proper Wayland session, and not the X11 Session?
I don't use GDM/GNOME myself, this is just the first thing I'd check, is if your Display Manager (GDM) is selecting the Wayland Session instead of the X11 Session.
Edit: I didn't read that you checked the two sessions. Sorry about that.
Try installing SDDM, disabling GDM and enabling SDDM and seeing if another Display Manager helps.

If you're not having fun, what's the point of being an Enthusiast? :3

I have tried using another Display Manager, and wayland does work. But GNOME relied on GDM for some of its features, like the lockscreen. Without GDM, I wouldn't be able to use any lockscreen...
