Originally posted by schmidtbag View PostKDE's Wayland support has noticeably improved after every other update. At this point I find it to be very stable and most features that seemed broken about it have now been resolved. As of this week, I only have 3 problems left:
1. Chromium is very choppy, but, I think that's more Chromium's fault than KDE's or Wayland's because it isn't a Wayland-native app and running it with "--disable-gpu-driver-bug-workarounds" seems to "fix" the problem. Other Xwayland programs don't have this problem.
2. The application thumbnail preview in the task list doesn't work.
3. Sometimes when watching a fullscreen video, my main panel shows up on top of the video.
Otherwise, everything else [I do] seems to work very smoothly and as-expected.

The Nvidia situation is a tricky one. Both the KDE devs and Nvidia are a bit in the wrong here and they're both stubborn. Nvidia is wrong because they're actively hindering the progress of Wayland. On the other hand, Nvidia has no obligation to support Wayland; X11 is all they really need to support. The KDE devs are in the wrong because they're basically screwing over their userbase out of principle. However, if the KDE devs don't hold their ground, Nvidia wins, and therefore Nvidia will never have to put any effort into real EGL support.
