From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Cinnamon on mint has an option to log in using Wayland.
Where you type your login/password (mint uses light-dm as the login window) there is a small icon/avatar to the right. Clicking that gives the DE options:
Since pop is Ubuntu based you could try the Ubuntu ppa (there are other nvidia tips here, too)

And, here's the 550 download directly from nvidia

Hey thank you! I'll give this a shot tomorrow. I think my install uses GDM, not light-dm? I have Cinnamon but not Cinnamon Wayland in my list.
But I'll try the 550 drivers for sure!
