    I’m not defending Nvidia, but my Nvidia laptop works prefectly fine with Wayland. And then I wanted to play games so I bought an egpu enclosure and put 1080ti in there and it worked prefectly fine OOB. Then I wanted to upgrade so I put 7900xtx in there and no driver, version, config or voodoo allowed me to use it.

    Not to mention VERY limited compatibility with ML libraries.

      So, I don’t really understand this, but., why use Wayland? All I ever read about with it is problems about compatibility and functionality. I don’t understand what the benefits are. Or what it does that do different than x

        Personally its been snapper with transitions, supports independent display scaling, waydroid, and hopefully soon easy to use compositor handoffs - which would be a game changer

        I just feel that on Linux if you stay too long on software after a newer, shinier tool is available - you quickly get left behind. And it’s not like Wayland is some alpha software from an obscure dev. I’ve been daily driving it for years on my work/fun laptop with very few issues. And it did solve a few problems for me mostly to do with multi monitor setup.
