Why do you think this is a fedora or even wayland question?
Do you think it is not?
Fedora does not distribute NVidia drivers. You got them from a third
party. They are not "supported" except maybe by the third party.
It is the
drivers in the kernel that determine what video resources are
available. I don't run wayland because it doesn't provide a service I
need, but because nvidia is ubiquitous, if the kernel provides an
interface to the device, wayland almost certainly can utilize the
device.
Does the kernel shipped with Fedora provide such an interface? If so, then
why does wayland not use the device? Or does Fedora come with a version of
wayland that is made not to work with Fedora kernels?
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.
Besides, what's the alternative to nvidia?
AMD. They work great out of the box.
If you have trouble getting an NVidia card to work on Linux, go complain
to NVidia.
