>Yes, Nvidia are not great when it comes to OSS, but like it or not, for doing real work in ML, scientific computing, or video and photo editing, Nvidia with CUDA is simply a much better experience and much more broadly supported. Fine. If you do these things, stay on X. >While I don't think it should be the job of wlroots/sway to fix Nvidia's less than ideal driver chain, I think it is important to remember that a lot of people get a lot of productive work done on with Nvidia cards and would love to get rid of some of the pain of X while still being able to use their high end GPUs for both work and graphics. I honestly just don't care. They should boycott Nvidia and find something else to do with their time if they really want better support from Wayland. I'm not going to bend over for Nvidia. Ever.

Nor do I think you should, my only point is to say that people's FUD about Wayland often has roots in FOMO about not being able to use the new and shiny for their workflow and no clear path to when/how that will be fixed, regardless of whose "job" it is to fix the problem. The people who demand change are wrong too, I am super happy people like you are doing what you do, otherwise this OSS thing really would never work. But to be clear, while I think your stance is completely reasonable and justified, it is just a hard pill for some people to swallow. That doesn't mean that those who are jerks about it are justified, but it also doesn't mean that those who raise concerns, that those concerns aren't warranted.
