Ymmv with Nvidia, but that has nothing to do with development focus and everything to do with Nvidia’s refusal to use the same interfaces Intel and AMD use. Most of the way Nvidia works or doesn’t work with X or Wayland is down to Nvidia’s driver stack. Personally I’ve not had much positive experiences with Nvidia on X.
that’s what i mean, i don’t blame wayland for it lol. I wouldn’t want to develop for nvidia on wayland either. If nvidia was open and accessible, someone somewhere, would be working on it right now, it’s just how things are.
That happened literal years ago.
it’s possible that i missed a few i’ve only been involved for about 4-5 years so far. I don’t know anything about gnome personally because i don’t use it, but it doesn’t surprise me either tbh. I know about KDE because i used it, i know about fedora because i know people who have used it. I feel like i’ve seen more talk about wayland as of recent, but that’s probably irrelevant lol.
I don’t see the distros that are only switching over now as major contributors to any development specific to Wayland.
it’s not the distros and their devs, it’s the users and their unique hardware configs. More data makes a more reliable and usable system.
I don’t take issue with your preferences. Maybe you’re better off with X for now, that’s fine, but you make it sound like Wayland is just full of issues and has barely even entered some kind of pre-release state for software masochists.
that’s not what i intended, i just said it’s the small issues that appear, and disappear with every few updates, that i don’t want to be dealing with, that’s why i no longer use KDE. I prefer my system to be a relatively consistent level of “broken” most of the time.
A lot of people don’t have significant issues with that, i believe the previous poster was rather annoyed by them, i imagine they’ll get better soon, but there will likely be hundreds, if not thousands of bugs like this, dependent on specific hardware configurations, that will crop up shortly. And then just randomly disappear, or morph into other bugs, this is the QOL hell part of development.
X is rather stable on virtue of not being updated anymore, so those aren’t really significant concerns.
