The wait for the NVIDIA 555 driver is real. I pinned this handy URL so I can check it regularily: https://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html

Good news: #xwayland 24.1 is out today with explicit sync support.
Bad news: Nvidia 555 is delayed.

Four days until NVIDIA driver 555 with explicit sync.

Can someone help me understand the issue with explicit sync?

1. App renders frame
2. App submits complete frame
3. Compositor shows latest complete frame

What's there to sync?

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
