![]() ![]() If they later decide to enable the rpmfusion repository and install the NVIDIA proprietary driver, they get Xorg by default and Wayland as an option. This change is just about changing the default with NVIDIA proprietary driver on supported configurations, “GNOME on Xorg” still remains an option, just like with other drivers.įedora has changed to Wayland by default since Fedora 22, but the NVIDIA proprietary driver has been an exception ever since (either because originally Wayland would be disabled with NVIDIA drivers, or more recently Xorg would be used by default).Ĭurrently, when first installing Fedora on NVIDIA hardware, users get Wayland by default with the Open Source "nouveau" driver, with Xorg being an option in the login screen. Note that currently Xorg is also preferred in the case of multiple GPU, this would remain the case with this proposal. GDM already has a set of udev rules which check for the driver and its version, so this would only require a tweak in the udev rules to make Wayland session the default with the next version of the NVIDIA driver. This proposal is to make Wayland by default with newer versions of the NVIDIA proprietary driver to remain consistent with other drivers. That allowed to enable Wayland sessions even when the NVIDIA proprietary driver is used, but keeping Xorg the default in that case. ![]() Recent updates in NVIDIA proprietary driver allow Xwayland to benefit from hardware acceleration and X11 applications can have their rendering hardware accelerated.
