Solus 4 Is Working On Restoring Wayland Support, NVIDIA Improvements

[bug77]

Good to know, thanks.

Still does not make them good, but if they pull this off they can be "slightly less evil" in my book.

Since you seem to be more informed, do you know if with Wayland they can do without the dependency on display manager (as currently with xorg changes they need to adjust their driver)? That would be nice.

I can't answer that, but seeing as this one feature requires support in the driver, I would assume many others do, too.

Edit: Actually, a little digging led me to this: https://wayland.freedesktop.org/architecture.html
From an architectural point of view, it seems Wayland simply merges the server and compositor in Xorg. Driver interaction does not seem to be changed at all.

Good job guys. I'm gonna have to give Solus a try.. been running mostly Fedora. But can you get Huang at NVidia to open up his sphincter a bit more?
