   Here's why #GNOME absolutely should drop Xorg support, GNOME is the default #Linux desktop for #Ubuntu, #RHEL, and these are very popular distros for business use, this is the kick in the balls #NVIDIA needs to fix the drivers, business partners won't take NVIDIA's shit for long.

     @popey RHEL has got an end date for Xorg support which I expect to be first turning point but we're still talking quite a few years away at this point. But it will eventually happen and when it does I hope NVIDIA has there act together by then

     @BrodieOnLinux It might, but not quickly. The *vast* majority of people are running LTS releases of Ubuntu, 22.04, 20.04, 18.04 and even 16.04 are still in use in very large numbers. If the *next* Ubuntu release (an LTS) is in April next year. I doubt it will be Wayland only. Which means 26.04 might. Still far away.

     @rodlie When Red Hat stops supporting Xorg which they already have on the schedule, companies aren't going to suddenly start leaving RHEL, that's when there will be a lot of pressure on NVIDIA to fix the drivers. I'm not too concerned about what happened 20 years ago I'm worried about what's going on today

     @BrodieOnLinux Companies don't care about Wayland, they don't care about X11 vs. Wayland. The only thing they care about is that their stuff work, and that means X11, especially for the graphics/video industry. And btw, why all the hate against NVIDIA? If they didn't release Linux drivers 20 years ago, nobody would use Linux for anything related to graphics/video/3D etc today.
