9/23/2023 0 Comments Arch linux nvidia![]() ![]() I would say Jan 2021 Nvidia has truly internally to admit that the path they were attempting to push Wayland down was totally insecure and unstable because their own developer working on KDE was forced to publicly admit that in KDE bug system in 2019. ![]() Please note the arguements with Nvidia are not over like why cannot Nvidia simple just support KMS and GBM like all other graphics drivers on Linux and BSD do.įlatland_Spider I would not say started working on Wayland support as of January 2021. Nvidia being argumentative and not properly checking out security issues the open source world said DMA BUF fixed left windows users exposed. Nvidia being argumentative has made wayland progress a lot slower. Leading to more disagreements between different compositor vendors what information should be in this proxy item. Say hello to needing a proxy item to represent the buffer. Think about it you want to implement screen capture with open source drivers you could use DMA BUF for that now with eglstreams while Nvidia did not support DMA BUF this was doing something unique for Nvidia. Big problem here was getting Nvidia to admit what they were doing was completely wrong. Kochise like it or not yes Wayland starts in 2008 but from 2008 to current for your low end backend parts that you need with wayland there has been a dog fight with Nvidia. Yes here is 2016 Nvidia fighting against DMA-BUF and GBM from the open source side and then has failed to deliver a solution. Yes and when they finally admitted this was security broken you saw many CVE published for Windows when using Nvidia drivers. Yes right down to the Nvidia developer working on Nvidia support in KDE having to admit last year 2019 that the Nvidia drivers were security broken and he would have get new drivers so wayland compositors could work properly. 2013 open source driver stack started using DMA-BUF with wayland due to security issues and stability with the old GEM solution Eglstreams from from nvidia has suffered from all the same problems as the old open source GEM solution. NVIDIA’s 470 series Linux driver will have Wayland / DMA-BUF support at long last. Microsoft has historic to current examples of dropping half done or less done work on poor end users and saying deal with it. Sorry to say Microsoft is not a good example of waiting until something is right before dropping it on end users. Take windows 10 split personality configuration system mess. Even if you come forwards looking at Windows 7 there are sections of that released before its really usable in the right ways. Also Wayland in it current form is still not as much nightmare as Microsoft Windows ME. Microsoft releasing compositor before its 100 percent supported and working that is something Microsoft has absolute done. X.org X11 server on bare metal has ceased new feature development at this time.Īpple waiting until product is 100 percent quality on GUI does happen. Anyone who used Windows Vista in the first 3 years had some major issues including Nvidia being a jackass with drivers. I am not saying Wayland does not have sharp issues. ![]() Wayland now is like where Windows Vista was when it released with its changes. If it was developed at Microsoft or Apple you wouldn’t have a chance to try it for another five years. ![]()
