## Ubuntu 26.04 and NVIDIA: Focus on Wayland The upcoming Ubuntu 26.04 LTS release looks promising for NVIDIA graphics card users. The goal is to **improve** performance with the Wayland display server, especially in the GNOME desktop environment, which is the distribution's default. ## Possible Integrations in GNOME 50 It is not yet certain whether these optimizations will be integrated directly into the GNOME 50 code. Otherwise, Ubuntu 26.04 will include specific patches to ensure the best possible performance with Wayland and NVIDIA GPUs. This approach would allow users to benefit from the improvements immediately, without having to wait for the GNOME 50 update. ## The Role of Wayland Wayland is a display server protocol designed to replace the older X11. It offers several advantages, including increased security and **improved** performance, especially with modern hardware. The adoption of Wayland is a gradual process, and Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, is actively working to ensure a smooth transition and an optimal user experience.
