KDE Plasma 5.21 To Bring Multi-GPU Support For Wayland

[f0rmat]

Following that train of thought, desktop Tiger Lake is an amazing CPU

So is Ryzen 4!!! I love it!

No need, just pull down the latest. Either that or grab kwin-lowlatency from copr which also packages a newer plasma release.

Relying on a COPR that's someone's minor hobby project for my main DE wouldn't be ideal. It would be awesome if they had modular builds for a rolling(ish) KDE.

With Wayland is there another DE that works with multi gpu?

As far as I remember, Sway has been supporting multi gpu for a while now.

But Sway does not support NVIDIA

Considering 5.20 is not out yet, using "now" and "5.21" in the same sentence is a little creative :P

Because 5.20's hard feature dead line was at 2020-09-17 and They are in 5.21 NOW for all new features.

So again no no news about support for activities in Wayland

Nah, it's Nvidia that doesn't provide standard Wayland support through GBM.
EGL Streams implementations are buggy and incomplete on every single compositor that has merged support for Nvidia's blob and that doesn't even take into consideration how there's absolutely no 3d acceleration under XWayland or other missing features.

Partial is better than none
And acceleration doesn't really exist with NVIDIA, but that's about to change
