Not supporting deprecated software for a deprecation period is just rude, especially when said software is integral to your product on a certain platform and present on 99.69% of Linux workstations. Nvidia is not some kiddy startup and shouldn't play the "move fast and break things" meme.
Didn't mean to do that. The whole thing has been a point of contention for a long time, so I wanted to clarify that they are actually getting on board with Wayland. They are by no means fully backing with Xwayland. I want a full Wayland experience and nVidia is doing the bare minimum to enable it on their hardware. For me getting all the way there really does involve desktop applications embracing it and adding support too. X is deprecated, and so should be Xwayland.
