Hey, fedora-infrastructure isn't the repo you're looking for. You might be looking for https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation instead.

I can tell you what's probably causing this issue though. NVIDIA doesn't support implicit sync - the symptoms of this include stuttering, tearing, out-of-order frames and other visual glitches.

This is fixed by a new Explicit Sync protocol for Wayland and XWayland, which should be implemented in NVIDIA 555, XWayland 24.1 and (hopefully) a Mutter minor release. Scheduled release date for these is may/juneish, during Fedora 40's lifesycle.

In any case, I recommend you to close this issue and file another on Mutter (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/), XWayland (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver) or post on Nvidia's dev forum (https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/c/gpu-graphics/linux/148). You'll be able to get more help there.
