    OK… ELI3? Why is this a big deal, and what is the feature/bug fix?

      The feature is explicit sync, which is a brand new graphics stack API that would fix some issues with nvidia rendering under Wayland.

      It’s not a big deal, canonical basically said ‘this isn’t a bug fix or security patch, it’s not getting backported into our LTS release’ - so if you want it you have to install GNOME/mutter from source, switch operating systems, or just wait a few months for the next Ubuntu release
