In addition to showing the need for unifying DRM driver-side APIs within the Linux kernel, NVIDIA’s Linux graphics driver team at XDC2025 also showcased the shortcomings of screencasting under Wayland.
Doğukan Korkmaztürk of NVIDIA presented on the issues that persist with screencasting under Wayland from both the compositor and client perspectives. From the state of explicit synchronization to performance differences compared to X11, there are some pain points that ultimately still need to be addressed for a better screen casting/capturing experience on Wayland.
Can you give an example? There has been a ton of vague non-specific hate towards them in the Linux community ever since Linus gave them the finger. So for the sake of not being ignorant, I’d like to hear specific examples if you have them.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for hating on Nvidia for many different reasons. I’ve hated them since even before the AI and crypto eras.
Trying to push three different technologies years after AMD, Intel, Mesa, … agreed on GBM.
The GBM controversy is the (only) one I know about. Afaik, their drivers support GBM today so it’s kind of outdated.
Well, of course. I literally said this was a fight over years, so of course in the past. You wanted to one example of why the hate and I gave you one example of why the hate.
