Legacy NVIDIA Users Face Uncertain Wayland Default in Fedora 38

Fedora 38 sets Wayland as the default session, removing the guaranteed Xorg fallback that older NVIDIA drivers and legacy hardware rely on.

Community discussion remains open on whether to keep an Xorg session available or to provide an experimental Wayland session using the nvidia‑drm kernel module, creating compatibility uncertainty.

Verification steps require confirming that the DRM modules are included in the initramfs and that the NVIDIA driver version meets Wayland requirements.

What is the recommended approach for ensuring legacy NVIDIA hardware functions reliably in Fedora 38, and how can users verify that the necessary DRM modules are present in the initramfs after an upgrade?
