Freebsd 14 Wayland and Wayfire using Nvidia on Dell XPS 15
Freebsd 14 Wayland running the Wayfire compositor on a Dell XPS 15 2019 using a Nvidia graphics card
All the hardware works but you need to use wifibox for the wifi drivers,
and nvidia on freebsd doesnt yet support nvenc and cuda
the packages needed are nvidia-driver nvidia-settings nvidia-drm-515-kmod libva-intel-driver libva-utils
and the kld_list looks like this
kld_list="i915kms nvidia-modeset nvidia-drm linux linux64"
In this video i also cover tofi a wayland dmenu rofi clone

Setting up mpv to open videos on the second display using fs-screen-name,
mixertui a tui terminal application like alsamixer to set your audio levels, and other tips and tricks
Another thing is the audio is much better on Freebsd than Linux and the mpv video player works a lot better as well and quits instantly unlike on linux where it stalls a bit
fed up distro hopping on linux maybe its time to give Freebsd a look and see what you have been missing
