This is good news.
Maybe finally we can move on to Wayland, despite the missing features from Nvidia. These can come later. It may be 12 years to late, but that is the past. I remember reading about Mir and Wayland in 2010. Now its finally here. YAY.

Fucking finally, how many years has it taken?!

But sure, having the option for those who actually want it couldn't hurt.

They took very unnecessary business decisions to avoid breaking their Quadro/Geforce market, while Linux is still a 1% marketshare in gaming, it's huge in scientific, data analysis, rendering and of course, servers. AMD made the investment since a while, but not the case for Nvidia.Last edited by avem; 05 September 2021, 09:00 AM.

Originally posted by Azrael5 View PostWhen this happens the transition era to Wayland will be able to proceed towards the end. Nvidia has been one of the major responsible of the delay together with a kind of reluctance in some linux Oses developers to face the change in their own desktop environments, apps and frameworks in order to make them compliant to Wayland. My modest suggestion is to invest efforts in the conversion of all the linux software such as both Fedora (gnome) and Kde (plasma) teams are making. Fedora has now almost completed this process. Once reached the point, the deprecated Xorg can be decommissioned.
It could very well have been made to work. Was it the best way? No I would agree with you there. It is nice that Nvidia is listening to the Linux desktop group and implementing an easier path forward that is standardized across the big three vendors at least now.
