Curious from people who follow its development closely.

  • What protocol are about to be finally implemented?
  • Which ones are still a struggle?
  • How many serious protocols are there missing?

How's the AMD drivers situation on Linux? I always used Nvidia since they have official drivers, but might change for the next card if AMD works better. I don't use Wayland so never ran into the issues.

    If your AMD card is older than your latest linux distro release it's plug and play, no driver installation required
    Wayland works pretty well on most desktop environments too

    beware fresh released AMD cards in combination with long term release distros like Debian stable, you most likely will need the driver from the AMD website (not recommended)

    Mesa is usually pretty quick to update, it's just that stable distros won't update mesa all that quickly. I assume most of them have some way to install a newer mesa from a community repo or something.
