KDE Saw A "Bug Massacre" This Week With Better NVIDIA Wayland Experience, Many Fixes

That's what I was hinting at: it's a (not so clever) play on human psychology, that's been employed for years.

We are in violent agreement.

Can anyone confirm, that NVIDIA and Wayland actually works?

Maybe email NVIDIA. After all you paid them money for their product that they are supposed to support.

What's the benefit of Wayland???
I am still in windows with WSL2 is alright for work, photoshop and games.

History: X is old. When it was designed computers being networked was not the norm. Over the subsequent years security was not really a major design factor.

Wayland (as a concept, protocol and implementations) are designed from the ground up to as secure as possible (so one app cannot spy on another etc).

WSL2 I do believe will still use X for displaying GUI apps (from the Linux world), I am unsure about Wayland support.

I am glad you have found a solution that works for you. WSL2 is a pretty cool tech.

Been waiting for four years, and *still* waiting for KDE on Wayland to wok with Nouveau.

Thanks very clear. Then it will be an improvement for better privacy and security.
Yes, I am okay with WSL2, when I have to deploy my servers and develop on Linux. I am not a privacy monster so I let Microsoft steal some of my data

yes, that's the goal - it goes hand in hand other new tech like
* Flatpak/snaps etc so that your normal desktop apps are running in a container too.
* having your Desktop Environment (DE) launching apps in Cgroups (containers) for better process management.

Read the thread: Nvidia and Wayland work, but on Gnome. KDE's Wayland support is in tech-preview phase (not only with Nvidia, though there are probably more bugs in that area).

I had forgotten about that - I hope they have been continuing with this project. I have not heard any more about it though
