That sounds like some bullshit to me, the amount of effort for Nvidia to ease pains over the transition period -- which will surely last at least ten years before even 80% of applications are patched for native Wayland support and will and involve dumb shit akin to the systemd debacle like "We hate Wayland so we're forking Debian and calling it DebianFuckWayland" -- is marginal compared to the benefits. Xwayland will be here and necessary for a very long time.
Didn't mean to do that. The whole thing has been a point of contention for a long time, so I wanted to clarify that they are actually getting on board with Wayland. They are by no means fully backing with Xwayland. I want a full Wayland experience and nVidia is doing the bare minimum to enable it on their hardware. For me getting all the way there really does involve desktop applications embracing it and adding support too. X is deprecated, and so should be Xwayland.
Not supporting deprecated software for a deprecation period is just rude, especially when said software is integral to your product on a certain platform and present on 99.69% of Linux workstations. Nvidia is not some kiddy startup and shouldn't play the "move fast and break things" meme.
What % of nVidia's sales go to Linux systems running Wayland on in a scenario where X is desirable or even necessary? Far and away the vast majority of their GPUs in Linux systems are either in supercomputers or embedded applications like cars.
Don't turn a company's laziness into a virtue.
