Wayland seems to mostly works fine with Open Source drivers, when will Nvidia make drivers for Wayland?

I want to abandon X soon as possible.

So no reason? I thought not

Maybe because it's decades old and it is literally impossible to design a safe screen locker?

Multi-screen can be a pain to set up.

X11 works fine, but it support too much old technology, and people no longer use that feature.
eg:
X11 support primitive shape, line polygons, arc, etc, but it's slow so today we only use OpenGL.
The same with font glyph raster, we already use external libraries (cairo, pango, etc).
And so on, so on...

You can't drop all this feature from X11, because it'll be no longer conformed to X11 spec.
Thus, Wayland was created.

>>54708037
So just don't use them...
>>
>>54708054
Yes, that's why people are suggesting to remove the code that nobody use. Hence, wayland.

>>54708054
Is this your room?

So can i use KDE with Wayland?

They already did, you need to patch Wayland yourself for now because Wayland devs didn't like the way Nvidia added support.
