Title, I can't switch to Wayland because of nVidia (and because I love Awesome WM).

What display manager do you use? There's a very very short list of ones that support wayland sessions: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wayland#Display_managers . And some of those don't display themselves using wayland, they can only launch sessions.

I'm using SDDM which I know supports lunching Wayland because I'm had it work in virtual machines before.
