In addition to showing the need for unifying DRM driver-side APIs within the Linux kernel, NVIDIA's Linux graphics driver team at XDC2025 also showcased the shortcomings of screencasting under Wayland.

Doğukan Korkmaztürk of NVIDIA presented on the issues that persist with screencasting under Wayland from both the compositor and client perspectives. From the state of explicit synchronization to performance differences compared to X11, there are some pain points that ultimately still need to be addressed for a better screen casting/capturing experience on Wayland.

Trillion dollar company can't do shit properly blames free software.

The issues may be totally valid but yeah, Nvidia can be expected to have patches ready.

Looks similar to the Google ffmpeg situation where Google AI file bug reports, bury the developers, and don't send any patches at all.

I watched the thing and guy was crying about DRM and asking for help. Half of those presentations were DRM related as a kernel module. Corporate doing corporate things, like BSOD for linux DRM from Google guy presentation.
