Thats great.

I'd still like my Nvidia card to work so I'm happy about this, and when AMD on Linux eventually starts swapping over to explicit sync, I'll be happy for those users then too.

AMD on Linux doesn't need explicit sync

Cool. It should still use it though. If for nothing else than the parallelization improvements it allows.

If we stuck with the "it works fine so I'm not moving away from it" approach then we'd all still be on x11. Nvidia sucks and they should be more of a team player, but I think they were right to push for explicit sync over implicit. We should've been doing this from the beginning on wayland.
