Linux

I think they already have. I held off on Wayland on my main machine for a long time due to Nvidia issues. For example, I was getting rendering issues where some windows/popups would be totally invisible until I moused over them. Those issues are now gone, and I've been running Wayland for the last few months with no problems at all.

KDE Plasma will get this feature soon, I hope GNOME Shell will follow their approach.

I feel like if Gnome Shell is crashing enough for this to be a problem then it crashing is the actual problem.

depends if nvidia care about improving wayland, they don't really have any reason to care today. Maybe if people start purchasing hardware from their competition enough.

I'm having a perfect time on intel at least. Though I have no video game requirements.

I had the same problems until I switched to an AMD card. Since then it's been smooth sailing in Wayland.

Nvidia

Better Wine support. It's coming soon, but I prefer xorg until Wine properly supports Wayland.

Honestly, Wayland just doesn't give the impression of working well enough with everything to replace my window manager and all kinds of utilities that grew around it (or X11 in general) for a decade or two just to only notice after using it for a few weeks that it won't work with some things. It demands a huge time investment up front for questionable gain basically.

Mine's mostly just bad electron app support for native Wayland. In theory Electron now offers full Wayland support but hooooo boy is it going to be a while until all of the electron garbage I use finally updates to a new enough version for proper support.

The other gotcha is just general client side decorations support for apps in general. I'm shocked that no one has built a small libadwaita wrapper library that implements client side decorations for apps. It's going to be ages until app developers all implement their own (crummy) CSD that doesn't match system themes at all.

I play Heroes of the Storm through Lutris.
I have a superultrawide 32:9 monitor.
In X11, I can get HotS to scale past its normal limits just like I could in windows and take up a full 5120x1440 resolution.
In Wayland, I can't.
I will die on this hill.

Color management

Autotype for password managers. I don't only have passwords which I use in my browser for which the plugin is fine. But other apps require autotype. And copy & paste can't be the solution for this missing feature.

I'm kinda on the fence about it. On the one hand that is how it is supposed to work. That the new thing gets better, faster when everyone uses it. However, I liked to watch this dude named Brodie Robertson on youtube and a lot of the major features took years to land in wayland.

Not because it was hard, no one wanted to do it, or any of the normal reasons you traditionally see in foss. The reason why it took so long usually seems to be the result of having to argue that it should be done. It is honestly mind boggling that things like disabling vsync, global shortcuts, and many other features that many of us take for granted were all initially dismissed as essentially "not even deserving to exist".

Fix the issues with wayland so that we are all able to use it, before forcing us to move for "our good".

KDE, I suppose.

That's for the kernel. Userspace often breaks userspace.

Well, there are better reasons for getting rid of fossil software... Like xorg being a giant clusterhack :)

User space is not breaking often enough for nvidia users. If it'd break regularly maybe users would either buy something with proper support, or force nvidia to open their stuff so it can be maintained like the rest, and no longer is a roadblock for progress.

That's the kernel apis. Those have to be stable. Userland always changes much faster.

Input Leap? Now that Barrier is no longer being developed, Input Leap is the main fork, and GNOME 45 just added support for it on Wayland.

AFAIK wine requires no special hardware support. It isn’t virtualizing anything, it just translates directx calls into OpenGL/Vulkan calls executed by your normal driver. If wine doesn’t work I suspect it’s something else

Can't Waypipe do this?
