From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It is excellent to see explicit sync. It is now is GNOME, KDE, XWayland, and Mesa. We just need the NVIDIA driver that supports it and that is coming soon I believe.
Most users will not see this until the fall distribution releases unfortunately. Rolling releases will be proving it all out soon though so it should be in good shape for the masses by year end.
Having these basic Wayland issues addressed and equalizing the experience between NVIDIA and other GPU hardware is a big win for everybody.
they already support it. They are testing it before it gets released in their next release 555 (around July)
