NVIDIA and accelerated Xwayland gets closer with code that 'sounds unpleasant'

Anyone know what the situation is with Nvidia+Vulkan+Wayland?
Plasma 5.21 Beta is out and it's a thing of beauty, towards first-class Wayland support

"multiple GPUs was also added on Wayland" does this mean that an laptop display could run on say AMD/Intel igpu, and externals on a dGPU?

I'm getting flashbacks of DOS boot disks for gaming. This is pretty awesome if true.

Quoting: FutureSuture
Quoting: Luke_NukemI really dislike laptops with a numpad. It means the typing keyboard is shunted off to the left further off-center with the screen. It's damned uncomfortable after a period of time.

Otherwise I'd be keen on this.
I have noticed this as well. You will have to go with a 14" laptop or smaller if you do not want a numpad.

My current 15" does not have numpad. The new Dell XPS 17 also does not. There are plenty without. Still, I think too many manufacturers are stuck in a "cram in every feature" mind-set and don't think about trying to define a well thought out feature set. Like laptops that have sdcard slots? I haven't used that ever in 20 years yet so many come with it.

Quoting: iiariexpansion port here that'll take another battery

No, just no. Battery should be standardly a large size. Honestly what the heck is the point of a laptop if the battery isn't the largest you can possibly cram in. A 49wh battery makes me think this is a chassis from a few years ago that expects a spinning disk hard drive.

QuoteLi-Ion - 49 Wh

Well that's a disappointment. Factor in 10% degradation in the first year and you'll be tied to a charger. Laptops should come with 70+Wh batteries otherwise what's the point?

Works brilliantly with Proton. Funny story, I got alpha access and actually didn't know it was a Windows only build because it worked so well.
