      So who is gonna fo the half year worth of release engineering and another 5 years of maintenance?

      Not Red Hat.
      Not Canonical.
      Not SUSE.
      Not Debian.
      Not GNOME.
      Then why did they even implement new features on the 1.21 branch? Seems like that was a waste of time then...

        Weren't we promised some news this year on open source support by nvidia?
        Who are these "lots of people"? Most laptops and even desktops don't even have NVIDIA GPU's anymore nowadays (as in: the past 6 years and even to this very day). Yes, you can put an NVIDIA card in yourself, but the majority of people don't do that.

          The only thing that matters are capable devs who are willing to take on the huge task of releasing and maintaining 1.21. Right now no one is willing to do that.
          Yeah sure, and you opinion always matters.

            Just release Xorg 1.21 already, KDE is *not* ready for Wayland still, and I could care less about GNOME. The world doesn't revolve around GNOME it certainly won't for me.

            Until KDE has working Wayland support thats ready, Xorg is needed, Red Hat step up your game and stop continuing to be a GNOME only shop, it's getting pretty tiring already.

              GNOME is one of the easiest DE's to commercially support, so that isn't going to happen anytime soon.

                On the laptop world, if you want discrete graphics at the moment it will always be intel + nvidia. There's just next to no amd laptops out there. Laptop gaming is therefore a nvidia only job. Machine learning requires tensorflow, which requires CUDA which is nvidia specific. Only because you personally haven't bought nvidia in the last 6 years doesn't mean that magically nobody else does.
