This blocks nVidia on Wayland until we get enough applications away from X11. There are some people who think of this as no big deal, or there are a lot of use cases where people don’t run into this, but I’ve seen enough applications stutter, drop frames, or mess up entirely under Xwayland because of the lack of implicit sync.

The 535 series gets us much farther in a lot of ways on Wayland, but we still have so far yet to go due to this issue. We’re still not there in regards to VRR, either, as nVidia has stated VRR (gsync) isn’t reported by the nvidia-drm module, but there has been a public statement that they are trying to get it into the 545 release.

As far as VRR itself is concerned, Mutter itself under version 44 needs a rebase to support it, but that’s a Mutter issue. Plasma users are going to have a better experience than Gnome users at this point, which I find very odd to say, but that’s more of a testament to the Plasma devs being absolutely awesome on another level lately, and is not to detract from the good work the Gnome project has been doing.

TL:DR We’re not quite there, even still, for a very small list of reasons now as opposed to a large list just a year ago.
