Nvidia / Wayland issues to be solved on Linux :thinkergunsunglasses:

Explicit Sync - a protocol based on DRM sync.

◉Apps now tell the userspace graphics driver / Linux kernel / compositor when rendering is complete
◉Before apps didn't render the objects right away either - now immediately
◉“Random” synchronization will no longer happen with Explicit Sync
◉In other words; Linux gaming experience evolves in rapid mode now
