How so? Aren't you still trapped on Xorg with their proprietary drivers?
I switched to Wayland a few years back as vsync is quite nice to have, but whenever I go back to Xorg for AnyDesk or TeamViewer on AMD or Intel there is a fair bit of tearing.
Nvidia could have a competitive open source driver tomorrow if they released redistributable firmware that allowed reclocking the GPU.

- AsyncAwait 6y agoThis is the sort of mentality I left the *BSD world for. Xorg is not some elegant codebase that's being unfairly targeted by an upstart.

- floatboth 6y agoYou're not. I've been using Wayland exclusively on FreeBSD for a couple years now, with both AMD and Intel GPUs.
- pmontra 6y agoHow do you go back to Xorg? Logout/login and/or reboot or is there a better way? I'm asking this because I often need screen sharing to work with my customers (demoes, check problems, etc) and I'm sticking with Xorg because Wayland doesn't do screen sharing.
