will not solve issues with compositors not having it

Many compositors already have patches for explicit sync which should get merged fairly quickly.

graphical libraries not having it

Both Vulkan and OpenGL have support for explicit sync

apps not supporting it

Apps don't need to support it, they just need to use Vulkan and OpenGL, and they will handle it.

Wayland doesn't implement sync of any kind, they probably meant to say "the Wayland stack"

Wayland has a protocol specifically for explicit sync, it's as much a part of Wayland as pretty much anything else that's part of Wayland.

Nvidia is not the only driver that needs to implement explicit sync.

Mesa has already merged explicit sync support.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
