NVIDIA 364.19 Linux Driver Stabilizes The Wayland & Mir Support

[Pecisk]

Looks like X.org will be sticking around awhile longer.

Nope, it won't. Everyone supports Wayland now - one way or another. No point.

Well, there is always Mir :-)

I would laugh so hard if in the end, Canonical was the only one offering a proper user experience when it comes to graphics driver support.

Except that Mir uses GBM, too and doesn't even work with all open source drivers (AMD and some nouveau cards to be precise).

Yes, but Shuttleworth is a businessman, he has no time for childish games. Canonical will probably just implement support and be done with it.

Unfortunately I'm using KDE :-(

There are such plans. Fedora/RedHat is already investigating.

nope. redhat is already developing nouveau and does not support nvidia driver even without wayland. i could link you some old stuff with redhat "investigating" upstart. will it make redhat switching from systemd?

shuttleworth is constantly losing money with ubuntu, so he has decades of time for childish games

So Fedora is already offering Wayland support for the latest NVidia binary drivers? If not, then your definition of a proper user experience does not comply with mine.

I think it's more like Fedora doesn't provide Nvidia binary drivers at all. RPM Fusion nonfree must be added to repositories to get Nvidia proprietary drivers.

nvidia has no linux binary drivers. fedora is already offering wayland support for the latest nvidia mesa drivers

if your proper user experience is windows, what are you doing here?
