    NVIDIA is still used by people. There shouldn’t be a push for Wayland if Wayland doesn’t work on hardware that majority of people use.

    I myself am on full AMD hardware, yet won’t switch to Wayland unless there is an actual reason to do so. X works just fine for me.

      The devs aren’t anybody’s lackeys either. Many are doing it for free in their own time. If you dont want Wayland, then support X11 with code, money, or documentation. If you don’t support the X11 devs and maintainers, then you’re making a decision to let it die and nobody’s “forcing you” to use Wayland.

      Have fun with Xorg. I hope it works well for you forever. Truly.

      I see no reason why hardware support should get any worse for you so no problems there. And it will be a while yet before most apps stop running on Xorg.

      The 78 percent of us using Wayland don’t need updates though. Thanks.

      Developers can do whatever the hell they like with their own software and shouldn’t let themselves be beholden to Nvidia.

      Nvidia is being dragged kicking and screaming into using something that everyone else decided was the standard years ago, and that’s a good thing.
