A sizeable chunk of the anti-Wayland people just oppose it because Nvidia doesn’t have good support and there’s no way their hardware vendor of choice is wrong.
To be frank, being stuck with an expensive card that ends up incompatible with your software stack, and having no way to afford a replacement, is not exactly the best recipe for good sportsmanship.
Indeed. How many people come to Linux AFTER they already have a card, or use laptops where the choice is like 90% nvidia and 10% amd (i just made up those numbers, but it is really lopsided).
I’m one of the few people that have a great experience with Wayland on nvidia, BUT since I’m looking for an upgrade AND they refuse to support the OS I use I’ll be changing to AMD, even though I do like nvidia’s software stack better.
Eh, I think saying that their hardware choice is wrong is just as bad as saying it is right. Nvidia is still the top choice for raytracing, upscaling, Blender renders, and compute.
Most AMD advocates in this sub don’t actually understand why some people need or desire Nvidia hardware. There’s major usecases that AMD just doesn’t have a proper response for yet, so telling them they should just buy AMD is totally useless.
I’m opposed due to wayland/gnome devs’ “we know better than you/we must protect the user from themselves” approach that leads to things like program controlled window positioning being unsupported on purpose.
Love how OP is arguing with people that Wayland is shit because of Nvidia drivers
I argue that Wayland is shit since it does not work on a lot of mashines
anyway, yeah those are the machines which use nvidia’s proprietary drivers

Yes, the maintainers are just ridiculous.
