Ubuntu 24.04 + Gnome 46 + Wayland + Nvidia Rtx 3070 Ti + Driver v555 + Kernel v6.9.3
- Initially noticed a minor lag when opening Application windows. Then reinstalled libnvidia-egl-wayland1 and apparently that lag is now gone. But, honestly I feel Wayland had more smoother performance with v550, than v555.
>For those wanting to build a Wayland-only Linux desktop experience without carrying any aging X11 baggage, GNOME 47 will be able to optionally offer Wayland-only support without carrying X11/X.Org support. This Mutter merge request landed today that allows compiling Mutter with X11 support disabled. That landed today along with this GNOME Shell merge request for being able to disable X11 support too.

Canonical announces the general availability of an enterprise-grade real-time Ubuntu kernel for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat) systems.

Rival coders must have Europe-based staff to build and test non-WebKit surfing
>The Register has learned from those involved in the browser trade that Apple has limited the development and testing of third-party browser engines to devices physically located in the EU. That requirement adds an additional barrier to anyone planning to develop and support a browser with an alternative engine in the EU.
>It effectively geofences the development team. Browser-makers whose dev teams are located in the US will only be able to work on simulators. While some testing can be done in a simulator, there's no substitute for testing on device – which means developers will have to work within Apple's prescribed geographical boundary.

Currently I'm using ungoogled-chromium on Linux just for PWA because of this decision made by Mozilla 😔
For What application you face issue? I’m curious as XWayland should provide backward compatibility.
Used Mainline to install it on Ubuntu 23.10. Together with Nvidia driver v550, it is working without an issue for me.
Money and Time – It's rather easier/cheaper for Organizations nowadays to outsource a part of infra to Cloud service providers.

We’re working on a new anti-tracking feature: Bounce Tracking Protection. It works similar to the existing Cookie Purging feature in Firefox, but instead of a tracker list it relies on heuristics to detect bounce trackers.
It’s based on the navigational-tracking-protections spec draft in the PrivacyCG[1]

Later I just downloaded Tar package from Mozilla, and update it manually.
In short, I just abandoned deb/snap/flatpak altogether.
UX is a very subjective matter.
Bad news is that it is not clear at this point whether Mozilla is going to go forward with the implementation. A post on Reddit by one of the project members suggests that the build is a "rough proof-of-concept". Some features tested in the build "did not survive". It is unclear which did not, as they are not mentioned. Mozilla is, however, implementing those that survived the cut into Firefox. Again, the poster does not mention which those are. It is also not verified that the poster is actually a member of the project team, so take this with a grain of salt as well.

>Enhanced Performance: DNF5 promises faster repository metadata processing and improved package query operations, aiming to save users precious seconds during package management tasks.
> Reduced System Footprint: By eliminating Python dependencies and merging the functionalities of DNF and MicroDNF, DNF5 offers a significantly smaller installation size, reducing metadata redundancy.
> Unified Experience: Fedora aims to provide a consistent package management experience across all platforms, with DNF5 serving as the sole package manager for servers, workstations, and containers.
