    On X I can do everything, on Wayland I can’t:

    1. Enable hardware acceleration in some apps
    2. Games have greater latency
    3. Some games shadowing under wayland
    4. Nvidia sometimes crashes. Their “nvidia-open” driver doesn’t work with Wayland at all

      Half of what you said are either issues with your current compositor’s implementation or Nvidia driver related issues, since Wayland on both KWin and Mutter under AMD don’t present any of these issues, atleast for me, while I had the latency issue you mention with my older 3080 card.

      The protocol is still under development after 25 years yes, but at the end of the day you vote with your wallet, and Nvidia clearly doesn’t give a removed about open-source or Linux as a whole since we’re a minority.

      You’re mixing this around. It’s Nvidia that doesn’t support Wayland, not the inverse.

      Bit like saying “Linux doesn’t support Photoshop” instead of “Photoshop doesn’t support Linux”

      Really? It’s been working for me since day 1.
