Unfortunately, there is not much Wayland devs can do about Nvidia drivers.

But RHEL didn't even set a date for removing Xorg support so it will probably stick around for a long while.



An employee in the comments earlier said the next release (RHEL10) will remove it, but that won't be for another 10 years.


Given the status of "certified drivers" in Wayland due to their closed-source nature, either RedHat is giving up their graphic workstation business, or removing xorg won't happen any release soon.


Or they are trying to force the hand of nvidia and see who budges first.


Fair point :)


RHEL 9 will be supported for ~10 years, but RHEL is scheduled to come out in ~3 years. Fedora will probably still support it and I would bet some of the RHEL rebuilds will too.
