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.

@BrodieOnLinux Not to mention that GNOME is probably the DE used in Hollywood workstation too (The kind that uses Resolve for Linux) and these most likely run NVIDIA GPUs, so they'd want a good Wayland support

@Myles124 @BrodieOnLinux I can't even get VR working on KDE or Sway. It's been broken for me for at least a year now.

@BrodieOnLinux @that_leaflet I remember the docs saying they recommend KDE and Wayland but I have never gotten VR to work and I'm using a Valve Index. Quite disappointing.

@BrodieOnLinux If it isn't dropped by the freeze for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS it will be supported for 5 more years after or 10 with ESMSo LTS distros would remain an option for those that need it.I could imagine an installer having a tickbox option for the X11 session support, pre-ticked or not.Which could depend on GPU detection.

@BrodieOnLinux It is also a wakeup call for some applications (steam for example) to finally support wayland.

@BrodieOnLinux I kinda doubt that, but even then, KDE is also moving in that direction, just "not yet"TM.

@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.

@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.

@BrodieOnLinux given the 0.01 shits Nvidia has been giving to desktop users in general in the past years, I don’t think it will change much. It’s clear to me that they only care about servers, where they can leverage greater margins and abuse the dominance they have with CUDA.

@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

@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 @popey Hmm don't think that will happen myself, but then I'm never an optimist when it comes to NVidia lolThe best I think we will get is for something like NVK and the work on GSP being taken up by the community without the aid of NVidia (again aka nouveau type thing).

@BrodieOnLinux I see it the other way. I simply must use NVIDIA gpu so if a distro stops working with the hardware and software I need then the distro gets replaced, not the other way around. NVIDIA knows this, they are mandatory and everybody else has to accommodate them.

@BrodieOnLinux If Gnome stops supporting it, I imagine the distros will just make a custom fork that enables Xorg support. Either that or manually put in the text file for the user.
