Don’t hold your breath just yet, it’s a step in the right direction but it’s far from being fully Wayland ready. I think the driver will only be fully ready some time after explicit sync protocol lands in Wayland (see https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/90)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

"hey here's news. Maybe. I can't actually tell you. It's just what I was told. This hasn't been relevant to me since it once was. But here's a blog post about it. I like cheese."
Your point being?
Really weird article. A bunch of snarky comments from the author that add nothing to the conversation. "It's been a decade since I touched an Nvidia card, so I'm just giving you the info I read in a changeling. Couldn't tell you if it was true or not, so fuck you!"
I am also not a fan of this website, but NVIDIA proprietary drivers are notoriously bad especially with Wayland, so I was thinking that people might find it useful and upgrade their drivers.
It's weird that you're being this defensive about it.
The other commenter wasn't chastising you for posting the article, they were commenting on the article and the author of it. Nothing to do with you.
I don't feel like they are being defensive at all.
"Your point being?" doesn't read as defensive to you?
Tbh, I didn't understand what the comment above that one was trying to say, so OP's comment was kind of what I was thinking. But then someone provided additional context, which was helpful, because of that comment. Yeah, it was a rude way to word that question, but I didn't really see it as defensive. Then the second comment by OP just sounded like a normal conversation, and that's when they were called out for being defensive.
The second comment is literally providing a defense for posting it regardless of the author
I think there's a big difference between explaining your reasoning and being defensive.
Gotta read the article.
I found CS:GO 2 stopped working after upgrade to driver v545 from v535. Anyone else noticed the same?
Known bug, NVIDIA says they are working on patching it by the next minor release:

My desktop would crash back to login screen after playing mass effect legendary edition. After exiting the game, if the desktop idle for a while, the moment the automatic screen off kick in, the CPU fan would whirl and if I wiggle the mouse, the desktop would immediately crash back to the login screen. Not sure whose fault it is, nvidia 545, EA, wayland or gnome.
I use an Nvidia laptop, and none of the issues I have with Wayland are from the GPU.
since we're sharing anecdotes... i have a desktop pc with an rtx2070 and ALL my issues are due to the gpu.
recently installed wlroots-nvidia from the AUR and it fixed the worst of it for now, but still getting glitches. i don't recommend Sway when you're on nvidia.
Really?
Night light will finally work! I hope fedora updates to it sooner than later
