Can it run without XWayland?
So it runs fully natively on Wayland without XWayland and without X.Org?

Those who want to test it on fedora, can use this: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/co.../fedora-gnome/

I wonder when we will see NVIDIA hardware being properly supported under wayland, and perhaps also nvidia-settings (its all we got ).

Is that all up to NVIDIA in the end? seems their pretty sour over the EGLSTREAMS fiasco.

Asking developers to have to support 1000s (perhaps 10000s) of lines of code for just one vendor, who doesn't even follow the proper development model of the kernel, is kinda a punch in the face.

You could say the same about GNOME.

I forgot GNOME was closed source, sorry!

Thats utter nonsense.

Archsway. I still really miss Devuanwindowmaker. Or Lindowstwm. Or Suseyawm. Can't be too long.

Understandably some people are sore about something like that but at the same time Wayland is expected to work with any GPU. It requires it and so Wayland devs are technically the problem too. Well, I say Wayland devs are a punch in the face to their users. Its a lose lose situation.

so Wayland devs are technically the problem too

So it's a flaw in the protocol? Please enlighten us how exactly. Because, you know, Wayland is a protocol.
