Sway 1.7-rc1 Has Better Zero-Copy Direct Scanout, Drops "--my-next-gpu-wont-be-nvidia"

[Danny3]

If it weren't for Sway and KDE developers, Nvidia woul've never dropped their bullshit and start supporting GBM.
Too bad other developers, like Gnome ones bent over very quickly for Nvidia.
I applaud the developers who stood their ground agains shitty manufacturers!

Best flag name ever

Hmmm, I'd say that "--my-next-gpu-wont-be-nvidia" option was in fact more appropriatly named than the new one.
But hey - nobody can afford GPUs anyway these days, so maybe that's the reason there won't be a "next GPU"?

"--my-next-gpu-wont-be-nvidia"

I lol'd IRL. But they should have named it "--nvidia-f*ck-you".
