It does not directly affect wayland support in any way unless you're using one of those experimental Wayland in Vulkan modes.

Doesn't Zink on NVK support fully compliant OpenGL 4.6?

[-] Atemu@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

Yes but I don't see how that's related to Wayland as nouveau (mesa OGL) is also capable of driving apps inside a modern desktop.

I think their are plans to switch to Zink on NVK to reduce the maintenance efforts

Yeah:

For OpenGL support, we are still expecting Zink + NVK to be the plan going forward

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
