Hey everyone how are you doing? :)
Recently I've read that Fedora will (once again?) try to make Wayland their default display server.
I was wondering if something similar is planed for openSUSE as well? Maybe for the Gnome and KDE system role options?
Since nvidia finally gave in and added GBM support to their proprietary driver, Gnome to support it with version 41.2 and KDE probably will do so as well if they not already doing so?
I thought it might be finally the case that Wayland can be used as a default as the last showstopper, nvidia, finally got their stuff sorted, it seems.
Would like to hear what going on behind the scenes or if there are any reasons I did not though of to not make Wayland the default?
GNOME has used Wayland by default since Fedora Linux 25, and Plasma has used Wayland by default since Fedora Linux 34[1]. What's changing in Fedora Linux 36 is that GNOME on NVIDIA hardware will use Wayland by default now[2]. This has already been the case for Plasma on Fedora Linux. I would certainly like to see openSUSE make similar changes, but I guess that's up to the maintainers of those desktop stacks if they want to follow and do it. IIRC, we already use Wayland by default on GNOME for openSUSE for non-NVIDIA.
