Nvidia 545 drivers made Wayland unusable for me

So I switched over to Wayland a few months ago and honestly I’m never going back, Xorg just doesn’t offer the same smooth window movement that Wayland has, especially with my monitor setup (2 monitors at different refresh rates).The latest Nvidia drivers, 545, absolutely broke Wayland for me. Electron apps such as Discord have heavy stuttering issues on GNOME and Hyprland. The thing that sucks the most is that my main desktop environment, KDE Plasma refuses to start at all, just sending me back to my GDM login screen. All of these issues have kind of driven me to using Windows until I find some way to resolve them. I never had these issues with the 535 drivers, does anyone have any possible solutions?
