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!

      That’s true, but thankfully it’s already been merged in mutter and is underway in kwin.

      The code for GNOME has already been merged, KDE has a merge request open for it too, Mesa also already has it merged in.

        Who thought individual compositors having to re-implement base features individually and over and over again would be a good idea?

        Same with the dozens of different protocols and portals and all the other magic bullshit. Once feature-complete with X11,Wayland will be of same complexity.

      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.
