  • @Fleppensteijn @leopold its a Nvidia issue.

    For years Nvidia tried pushing an alternative Linux driver called EGL, everyone told them it couldn’t support Wayland

    Eventually Nvidia tried to implement EGL backends to Gnome and KDE (this resulted in the buggy apps). Nvidia then declared their new cards would support GBM.

    This leaves the 10xx-30xx cards stuck on EGL with no one supporting the EGL backends. Nvidia have made it so GBM support can’t be added by outsiders to those cards either.
