Machine learning, where NVIDIA hardware and proprietary drivers is currently non-negotiable. It sucks but it is reality, and refusing to support their drivers in other software because NVIDIA doesn't support FOSS will accomplish absolutely nothing. Except people not using your software.

Why are you rendering your desktop through a compute GPU? Connect screens to the Intel HD outputs.

Refusing to support nvidia accomplishes that their shitty approach will die. They will then have to pick between either dropping linux support (which they don't want exactly due to ML and stuff), or having to do shit right.

IIRC, gnome is also dropping eglstream support (nvidia crap), leaving nothing supporting it.
