Nouveau works just fine for KDE4 and Gnome 3 (OpenGL compositing). In fact, Gnome and KDE developers recommend Nouveau as a driver instead of the blob for the DEs.
Wayland is in active development, 0.85.0 was just released recently and Wayland already supports Qt, GTK, EFL, it also has a compositor called Weston and a few applications. I believe 1.0 is expected to be released this year.
I'd also love to see KDE and Gnome working with Wayland.

Right, and that is why Nouveau will replace the nvidia blob in the end.

Agree completely.
Seconded.
Agreed.
But can they? I mean legally.
IIRC there was some legal issues with them using some things from the kernel, like KMS, and doesn't Wayland requires that?
Exactly, 2D rocks with Nouveau, 3D is gradually getting faster with each Linux release.
NVIDIA does not implement KMS or XRandR properly, they don't plan to support Wayland also, which is a deal breaker for me.
Isn't Qt under an open governance now?

Good riddance.
I'm a 100% Linux user and I never install Flash as well.

Some interesting videos of Wayland:

Patches welcome.
Also, forget about X, we have Wayland now.
We need to stop developing for X and start doing things on Wayland.

I keep hearing that DHT, PEX and magnet links will make trackers irrelevant and decrease single points of failure.
DHT+PEX+magnet links seems to be supported in most client applications already (ktorrent, rtorrent, etc).
So my question is, is there a way already to search for content through the DHT network directly? without involving a tracker like TPB?
Those anti-Linux editors should get fired IMHO.
Agreed.
Why not use ffmpeg then?
Already have it on Arch Linux.
Huge thanks to all the developers.
nice

can't we just write a compositor that can push buffers over the network?
wouldn't that work?
I can't wait for Wayland.
Same here.
