To give any opinion about you chances to get wayland working one would need
to know your HW and what version of the driver you're running.  If your HW is
8 years old, then my guess would be your chances of getting wayland running
are slim.

Wayland runs with nouveau on this system purchased in 2010 and running Fedora 33:

% uname -a

% env | grep WAY
WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0

I have had problems with distros that no longer include modules to support older hardware.  With Fedora I was

stuck on 5.8 kernels until a simple mistake that broke nouveau on old hardware was corrected upsteam.
