    becoming production capable and ready for prime-time use from Linux gamers to workstation customers and data centers.

    I would bet on it being the boom in AI increasing demands for Nvidia GPUs in data centers which largely run Linux wanting better support. Bet they don’t care at all about workstation users and Wayland support is a by product of making it work better with the kernel overall.

      I’m not so sure. The drivers already do a good job with CUDA. Data centers and AI certainly don’t care about Wayland support.

      I think this has more to do with seeing Windows 11 get worse and Linux handhelds grow. Letting AMD take share can only be allowed for so long without greater risk.
