The day is finally here. Xwayland now has the code for Explicit GPU Synchronization merged after waiting over a year for everything to be ready.

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.

        I’m gonna go out on a limb and say the Wayland/X11 devs (same people) know more about the way the X11/Wayland projects are structured than you do.
