>> By not treating Linux end user devices as first class citizens, I don't see how Nvidia intends to have a viable business long term. Who wants a tablet, phone or desktop GPU without drivers?
Desktop Linux with Wayland has maybe 0.1% market share rising to maybe 1% over the next years in the best case. In the worst case, Wayland will just be another Linux Desktop fail. Other devices (Phone/Tablets) do not use Wayland.
The amount of resources any given company can allocate to Linux platform bullshit is limited. The "serious" NVIDIA Linux customers will probably stick with X anyway, in the foreseeable future.
- aerique 9y agoSailfish OS (iOS & Android alternative) uses Wayland.
- Zahlmeister 9y agoTo a very good degree of approximation, nobody uses Sailfish OS. I'm not ruling out that there exist other pointless mobile operating systems with 0.0% market share that use Wayland or even XWayland in some capacity. My point however is that the "market" argument is nonsense when the market is practically non-existent.
