Well, Wayland doesn't really depend on any drivers, but most Wayland compositors (as well as modern X11, as far as I know) depend on the Direct Rendering Manager/Infrastructure and related features. I suspect that Chrome OS already uses these, so there may not be a bit ecosystem difference from that side.
- jauntywundrkind 3y agoThe forrest I feel you are missing in calling out these trees is that Chrome already supports a good variety of options on Wayland & can be nicely accelerated there. Where-as the old Skia based ChromeOS rendering made having actual hardware compositing support much more optional. The bar is just clearly much higher for what drivers will be expected to do now. Passing off stunted barely working custom low level drivers will no longer be enough. I can't see how anyone could rush to defend other views, at this point.
