>> By not treating Linux end user devices as first class citizens, I don't see how Nvidia intends to have a viable business long term. Who wants a tablet, phone or desktop GPU without drivers?

Desktop Linux with Wayland has maybe 0.1% market share rising to maybe 1% over the next years in the best case. In the worst case, Wayland will just be another Linux Desktop fail. Other devices (Phone/Tablets) do not use Wayland.

The amount of resources any given company can allocate to Linux platform bullshit is limited. The "serious" NVIDIA Linux customers will probably stick with X anyway, in the foreseeable future.

Sailfish OS (iOS & Android alternative) uses Wayland.

To a very good degree of approximation, nobody uses Sailfish OS.

I'm not ruling out that there exist other pointless mobile operating systems with 0.0% market share that use Wayland or even XWayland in some capacity.

My point however is that the "market" argument is nonsense when the market is practically non-existent.
