Explicit Sync support has been merged into KWin!

invent.kde.org wayland: implement linux-drm-syncobj-v1 (!4693) · Merge requests · Plasma / KWin · GitLab

This implements https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/90. Once the matching Xwayland and NVidia driver updates are out, most problems with NVidia on Wayland will be gone.

Sorry to be that guy lol... But what does this mean in English? Does it help me as someone with an NVIDIA card on Plasma 6 who sometimes has to jump back into an X11 session to get some software to behave, or I completely misunderstood?
- It should fix most of the flickering and stuttering particularly on NVIDIA Wayland, once every part of it gets merged.
  
  Oh holy shit that is music to my ears! Thanks for the translation, I really don't understand much about these graphics issues (only enough to understand it was potentially vaguely related to this problem)
