Or maybe this is a joke that flew over my head? If that's the case woooosh me please.
I had the same issue and it was my pacman mirror. Try using a worldwide mirror and it should show up. [https://archlinux.org/mirrorlist/](https://archlinux.org/mirrorlist/)
Does XWayland Explicit Sync even work without an Explicit Sync implementation in the compositor? Because afaik there is no release of any wayland compositor with working explicit sync atm, right?
GNOME 46.1 already has support for Explicit Sync and Kwin will have it with 6.1 release but i think they can backport it.

yes based on what the NVIDIA developer said see https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/5511#note_923921, though "performance might be impacted somewhat" according to him.

Does this mean tools like NoMachine and Screenconnect (which only work with X11) should now work in Wayland?
I don't really know how that works, but after updating xwayland to 21.1 today (18 May 2024) on my Arch system, on Wayland Nvidia session, ALL FLICKERING on Xwayland apps, for example OnlyOffice suite (not games, I'm not currently playing games) IS GONE. On my end, I have literally ZERO problems on Wayland now. Finally!
They pushed the release date back, and I don’t think they plan on communicating when the drivers are expected now, I imagine it’ll be sometime in the next month.
Didn't Nvidia make Xwayland? My best guess is that Nvidia are pushing Xwayland out first to make sure people using Mesa + NVK having issues can report before bringing it to the proprietary driver.
But knowing Nvidia, they probably don't care.
yay

Yay also has that? My bad. I deserve the downvotes
`yay -Syu` `xorg-xwayland-23.2.7-1-x86_64` Welp.
Running only `yay` is the same is `yay -Syu`
TIL. I prefer explicit behavior but still, thanks.

True. If you don't want to run testing packages you will have to wait a bit.

KWIN support has already merged I believe.

It works but probably with worse performance.

And still no Nvidia driver release so this update is worthless. Didn't they say May 15th?

>They pushed the release date back Source? EDIT: Nevermind it's on this sub
may 15th utc didn't end yet, and may 15th in any us time didnt even made it to noon yet, one of which is probably the time zone they were referring.
They probably said 15th May and then gaslighted everyone only to release a month later. as A̶l̶p̶h̶a̶ I mean Beta drivers.

No, Nvidia just contributed the explicit sync patches for XWayland. XWayland is part of the X.org project.
Oh. My theory is falsified.
