The performance experience is miserable, and you're wasting power to run it (especially on newer systems). The software effort is noble, and Nvidia is terrible for being so mean and stingy with their hardware. That being said, they ship a perfectly usable driver that I've daily driven, on Wayland, for years. Bringing DEs into the equation is just so I can refute the lousy argument that people should be using Nouveau on a daily basis. Unless you have an ideological objection, the proprietary driver is unfortunately the best no-hassle experience for Nvidia GPUs on Linux. That's the sad part. > I still find the X Protocol to be a far from obsolete protocol. That's very much what got me to write my original comment. The original article feels weird and combative, like x11 and Wayland are competing protocols. It's dead, Jim.
