I don't mind some performance cost when there is an actual, practical reason behind it but this is just bonkers. What exactly is FB doing that they need...

I guess that if nVidia hadn't been sabotaging proper Wayland support for years, most of these bugs would've been worked out already. If only AMD had truly...
