This merge resquest has finally been merged into XWayland, which means NVIDIA users are just one beta driver release away (May 15th) from probably having a good experience on Wayland now!
Nvidia users will also need a DE update, but yeah, we’re finally almost there.
It’s definitely a large leep, but it’s not going to solve everything. I’d say it brings us to ~85% completion. There’s still a lot of smaller issues in need of fixing, and some issues unique to specific problem cards. Nvidia needs to put in that last 10% and the community needs to put in that last 4%. The 1% are the tiny bugs spread across the ecosystem that’ll get fixed overtime.
Nvidia shouldn’t need to put anything in. It’s entirely Waylands fault that it does not work well with the already existing hardware and drivers environment.
Nvidia is shit for so many reasons but not because Wayland doesn’t work well with it.
If Nvidia had worked together with Wayland devs from the beginning this wouldn’t be an issue
