Please let this be the fix I need to make Linux work with my hardware

Any idea how long it will be before this release reaches something like Bazzite?
- Cool can I wait here with you?
  
  I dig bazzite but gosh it seems to be a 50/50 shot whether the OS will load to the desktop or actually shutdown when I turn off the computer through the OS. I have it on two machines and one (Intel CPU with Nvidia GPU) works pretty well, the other (AMD CPU and Nvidia GPU) is struggling.
  
  Grab a chair, we'll wait 🪑
  
  Bazzite's been my most stable experience with Linux so far, but I might give Pop_OS another go if this update reaches it first.
  
  I've gotten into the habit of just going into the terminal and using shutoff instead of using the os button for it. It seems to work every time, and I'm on the AMD CPU, Nvidia GPU situation as well. I'm really hoping this getting into bazzite will fix the issues I have with discord on Wayland.
- You can use Linux without Wayland, which is probably the root of your problem (I'm guessing).
  
  Unfortunately, from the issues I've had, it sounds like I'm reliant on Wayland if I want to be able to use two monitors with different refresh rates.
I hope this gets into Debian backports soon! I still have some weird issues with a blank screen (no UEFI/POST/grub display) owith Debian on first boot that hasn't gone away even with the Nvidia 525.x proprietary drivers.
