I think most of the issues were from the point of view of how to add support for other drivers, since lots of it is pretty nvidia specific and not well defined. But I believe it generally works on NVidia and if you're just targeting their drivers it should be ok.Originally posted by shmerl View Post
Not really. KWin isn't going to support EGLStreams, so it's pretty irrelevant whether XWayland supports it or not. Just stick to AMD if you are KDE user.
But it seems like EGLStreams is starting to pick up inertia (for better or for worse), where as I've been worried for some time that the new open source API isn't really going anywhere. There may not be much of a choice before too long.
I'd much rather have this new open source API that Nvidia would support too, but there doesn't seem to be any real work going into this new API:
The most recent updates are from 3 months ago! It really doesn't seem to getting much traction.
But there does seem to be some feedback and back and forth on the mesa-dev mailing list, so hopefully I'm wrong:

Like what KWin's Martin said, I don't care whether it's EGLStreams or GBM. At the end of the day, I just want one de facto standard implementation. And if that is not possible, I'll go with the most widely used option. Which, as this time of writing, is GBM. Even if it means using the horrible Nouveau driver to do so.
But until there's a universal way to do screencasting on any Wayland compositor and DE with common tools like SSR and OBS, I (and many others, I believe) will be going to be stuck on X for a very, very long time. Green Recorder does not count; it's a Gnome-only solution and can only record Wayland sessions under Gnome.Last edited by Sonadow; 08 February 2018, 04:17 AM.
