I think its worth pointing out that Wayland does support NVIDIA's hardware, that the two most widely used Wayland compositors (GNOME and KDE) do support NVIDIA's hardware, and that NVIDIA pays people to work full-time on Wayland, and these compositors, opensourcing their work.
The issue here is that sway, one wayland compositor, does not want to support NVIDIA hardware because they lack manpower. They are also not able to attract anyone willing to implement this support, like other compositors have done.
If you wonder why this is the case, just read this blog post again, and wonder if you'd like to spend your free time working with maintainers that write like this. Go ahead, read any of the other blogpost, or skim through the closed issues in the sway repository.
Trying to spin sway's failure to support NVIDIA's hardware as "NVIDIA hates wayland" is ridiculous in 2021.
FYI I use sway as my main DE, and I'm indeed grateful to its creators and maintainers (ddevault is not a maintainer anymore). But when I read this:
> "We’ve sacrificed our spare time to build this for you for free."
they sound to be entitled to my gratefulness. This is just such a toxic way to go through this world.
