Losing good reputation or losing bad reputation?
Losing a little bit of the remaining good reputation as a good and well documented beginner distro.
I think Wayland is at point now where I'd be comfortable recommending it to beginners. I'm on nvidia and just switched myself in the past month because I felt like it was finally ready.
To me this is actually a good move for Ubuntu's reputation.
Wayland is pretty good but without the drivers (that are not provided by default on Ubuntu) you will have fractional scaling issues and probably other glitches
The noveau drivers don’t work with Nvidia cards on x11 either.
If you didn't know, fractional scaling isn't available on X11 so there won't be issues if a new user tries to turn it on
