Wayland misconceptions debunked
There are an awful lot of comments on here that are trying to protect Nvidia's anti-Linux position.<p>Nvidia's position, literally, is their GPUs are <i>not</i> Linux compatible. The Linux ecosystem relies on the Mesa stack (Mesa, DRI, DRM, GBM, KMS, etc), and DRM is part of the upstream kernel itself... Nvidia has openly not used <i>any</i> of these APIs.<p>This is exactly equivalent to Nvidia not using WDDM and DXGI. If Nvidia chose to do that, Microsoft would outright ban them from driver certification (thus the platform entirely), so why is it wrong for Linux and Wayland to do the same?<p>The Linux community reached out to Nvidia and help them along with Nouveau, and at one point even threatened to sue them. Linus Torvalds has told them that he doesn't care about them if they won't actually participate in Linux, and will continue to break their drivers because they just don't listen.
