Probably the reason why they changed that original headline, but it’s hilarious regardless
What issues are you aware people have been experiencing?
I’m currently running 555.52.04 (this driver’s beta release) on F40 + GNOME Wayland and Firefox has been working flawlessly. Video playback using PiP has also improved a lot for me although IDK if it’s related to explicit sync or Wayland itself. Before installing these drivers I was using X and that feature would annihilate my desktop’s performance.

EDIT: they’ve changed the article’s original title :(
Wish I could buy one through official means here in Brazil 🇧🇷
That’s fair, but measuring the diameter of pizzas isn’t really something I do tbh and I don’t know the US equivalent of what we call “family sized” around here
Wow that is outrageous. I paid the Brazilian equivalent for that amount yesterday on a 16 slice pizza with four different flavors and a white chocolate border + an 8 slice small sweet one from a local shop with delivery services and all.
No wonder these companies don’t see the financial benefit for bringing their operations to the country…

Big tech can cheat the system by paying their taxes on countries in which they are lower, but when you try to do the same:

I’m aware there are problems with the way their survey works, but I don’t see how that’s the case…
To me it seems like it’s done on a monthly basis by selecting a random pool of users and prompting them to participate by collecting stats at that moment, only once they opt into it.
AFAIK the data is not aggregated over a certain period of time (i.e. “a year”)
If the latest Steam survey is anything to go by, it’s actually lower of a percentage when it comes to gaming, representing 1.94% of the market. The stats mentioned in the article come from StatCounter which monitors web traffic.
You can’t deny their support for Wayland has been steadily improving with the latest driver releases. In fact it’s already in a good state if it weren’t for the flickering in certain applications caused by these issues with explicit sync which are currently being addressed.
The day is finally here. Xwayland now has the code for Explicit GPU Synchronization merged after waiting over a year for everything to be ready.
This merge resquest has finally been merged into XWayland, which means NVIDIA users are just one beta driver release away (May 15th) from probably having a good experience on Wayland now!
Looks like we’re going to have to wait until May 15th for NVIDIA’s Beta drivers (555.xx) to add support for the recently merged explicit sync wayland protocol, but at least progress is being made to finally get these issues fixed.
If Wine on wayland were ready we wouldn’t depend on that merge request since the major compositors have already implemented the protocol, but I’m hopeful it won’t take long for XWayland to support it too since all threads were resolved and CI is already passing there.
