I'm not looking for a huge detailed answer but I've just started to switch over to Linux and I'm trying to understand if I need to start thinking about this. Unfortunately, I use an Nvidia card right now which is apparently an issue with Wayland at the moment to my minimal understanding. Is Wayland compatible with games? Would switching from xorg to Wayland be relatively easy? Sorry if these are very basic or dumb questions, I'm very new to all this, thanks! :meow-floppy:

    Short answer is yes.

    Would switching from Xorg to wayland be easy?

    Not with an Nvidia GPU. Neither their open nor closed drivers have proper support for wayland. There are hacks to get it to sort of work but I can't recommend those to a new user.
