NVIDIA Contributes EGLStreams Improvements For GNOME's Mutter Wayland Support

[Zan Lynx]

Are there any news regarding the "Unix Device Memory Allocator"?
On github the latest commit is from February https://github.com/cubanismo/allocator

At this rate the 'temporary' EGLStreams solution will become permanent, as many here feared.

Well you know Nvidia can't use GBM which is 2what everyone else uses. Because if they add custom code to their driver, then it might fall under GPL instead of being obviously a shared object equal on Windows and Linux.

cl333r both phoronix and Nvidia themselves have talked about how is now possible to build display servers with just vulkan , no need for openGL or GBM / Unix allocator

Yeah but Vulkan isn't ideal solution too. A lot of GPUs never run Vulkan based compositor.
