But their proprietary driver is lagging behind a lot of the ecosystem. E.g. until recently their driver did not work with Wayland/mutter because NVIDIA was pushing their own device memory allocator (via the EGLStreams API). It seems that it now finally works, but is very slow.
In contrast, AMD is actively contributing to the open source amdgpu driver.
- rootbear 9y agoYes, I wish Nvidia was a bit more generous with the open source community, but for some situations, they are the best choice, if not the only choice.

It seems that it now finally works, but is very slow. Can you give a source for this? I'd be very much interested in trying out Plasma on Wayland on NVIDIA, but I can't find any information about NVIDIA implementing GBM.
