This implements https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/90. Once the matching Xwayland and NVidia driver updates are out, most problems with NVidia on Wayland will be gone.
Oh holy shit that is music to my ears! Thanks for the translation, I really don’t understand much about these graphics issues (only enough to understand it was potentially vaguely related to this problem)
So basically, we already have implicit sync which kinda works with Nvidia’s proprietary drivers, but the drivers also heavily rely on explicit sync in different cases and that’s why some of the graphical glitches occur such as steam flicking. This adds that missing puzzle peace. That’s about the gist of it.
It should fix most of the flickering and stuttering particularly on NVIDIA Wayland, once every part of it gets merged.

Ah thanks for the explanation. The steam app flickering is indeed one of my symptoms
