So, is novidia actually going to maintain this, or will it just rot away in a year or two?

Of course - that's because OpenGL specification defines which extensions have to be available in order to provide a valid context.
EGL_KHR_stream isn't required by any OpenGL/EGL specification - just like EGL_KHR_platform_gbm.
Desktop GNU/Linux is a GBM platform, so if your driver does not support GBM, you're not really supporting Linux - you're creating your own platform instead. That's why compositors have to support Nvidia separately, which wouldn't be needed had Nvidia actually supported Linux.

Also, there should be a more focused effort on using Vulkan path for compositors.
The other bug I still have to understand what it is ... however there are still some bugs, which we hope will soon be resolved, but on my pc it still seems to work quite well.

Originally posted by schmidtbag View PostI agree that bug is pretty ugly, though it's very rarely been a problem for me. Usually you just have to enlarge the window enough where it stops being a problem. It's not an ideal solution, but it's not that big of a deal either. So, I'd say Wayland isn't ready to use by default but it's fine for people who realize it's still very much "beta".
