I mean, that depends, doesn't it? nVidia also refused to support KMS for a long time but they finally added it as it became a harder and harder requirement. KMS was a big overhaul and pre-requisite for modern stacks like Wayland. If that can get added, I'm reasonably confident that Wayland support will show up somewhere along the way (assuming that Wayland continues on its track to widespread adoption).
- dpark 9y agoNo, it doesn't depend. The two statements are equivalent. NVidia could certainly change their plans, but the particular way they phrase "no support" is irrelevant. It's not as if "we have no plans for support" could result in accidentally having support.
- vertex-four 9y agoWayland will be supported by nvidia. XWayland will not be. XWayland is a transition layer than runs X11 applications under Wayland. Generally speaking, most users will not need to do this.
