It's a pretty big deal for me too, but:
1. I was told to ~piss off~ because i use Nvidia for Blender and don't want to switch to AMD. The hostility was very discouraging.
2. I adjusted my workstation accordingly to not deal with the screen issue long ago. Yea, it would be nice to use differing monitors, but before Wayland was really viable i had to solve the problem properly to keep working. The net result is this killer feature had to be solved by me with hardware before Wayland could even have a chance to solve it with software.
- kelnos 4y ago> The hostility was very discouraging. I can understand that. This doesn't excuse the hostility, but also understand that, to the developers, it's been a huge slap in the face that nvidia didn't feel like adopting the standard that the rest of the Linux graphics community had adopted. Having to support another rendering backend, just because nvidia chooses to -- yet again -- abuse the Linux community, is hard to feel good about. Now, it's inexcusable to pass that hostility on to regular users, assuming they are asking politely, and aren't acting entitled to a solution. But I understand where the hostility comes from. (It's also telling that nvidia has, more recently, decided to stop doing their own thing, and adopt the established standard. Even they realized -- though it took them way more time than it should have -- that what they were asking was too much.)
