Isn't it more that Nvidia can't use GBM because it uses DMA-BUF which is a GPL-only symbol?

ubuntuweston He's just a troll who thinks anything that isn't Mutter shouldn't exist.Last edited by Gusar; 30 December 2019, 12:44 PM.

ubuntuweston There is no toxic behavior, at least not as 144Hz perceives it. Some of us are advocating for proper wayland protocols that would allow interoperability between different compositors, while 144Hz thinks only Mutter should exist and no protocols are needed because you should just use Mutter.

So why would they want to do that? Like I said, if people want to collaborate then they can just use Mutter and help develop it. Like endlessm and Canonical did.
KDEfreaking exists.

Compositors are free to exist. And we are all free to learn from their mistakes. The compositor developers just have to own their bugs and responsibilities. It not Mutter’s job to deal with all the extra fragmentation and protocol scope creep.
EDIT: And do you sleep? Are you some kind of troll bot?Last edited by duby229; 30 December 2019, 02:31 PM.

I'm not guessing anything, your posts speak for themselves.

duby229 Of course he's a troll. And I'm stupid for facilitating the trolling. But oh well, it's the end of the year, there's nothing to do, so I'm having fun seeing how much more 144Hz can manage to contradict himself and what kind of nonsense he'll come up with next.Last edited by Gusar; 30 December 2019, 02:52 PM.
