The problem is Japanese has so many characters - typically a font would need 5-6000 glyphs to be usably complete - that it isn’t easy to create new fonts.

English ASCII is 96 characters, for reference. A designer can crank out a new thematically-appropriate font in a week.

I’ve had many similar issues with Wayland. Not thrilled that nearly everyone is throwing in the towel on X11 support.

And it is a terrible thing for science and contributes greatly to the crisis of irreproducibility plaguing multiple fields.

If 1000 researchers study the same thing, and 950 of them find insignificant results and don’t publish, and 50 of them publish their significant (95% confidence) results - we have collectively deluded ourselves into accepting spurious conclusions.

This is a massive problem that is rarely acknowledged and even more rarely discussed.

Nvidia historically didn’t invest in Linux drivers.

Things have gotten a bit better, but there are still plenty of issues with Wayland compatibility specifically.

Install the proprietary driver and it will work, but under Wayland you may have issues with resuming from sleep, stacked transparency, fractional resolution scaling, and HDR compatibility.
