NVIDIA Publishes Patches For Its Driver To Work With Wayland’s Weston
Following NVIDIA publishing a new Linux driver that supports Wayland and Mir alongside X11, a NVIDIA engineer followed through and posted patches of the EGL support changes needed by Wayland’s Weston compositor to support the new driver.
If I understand it correctly, it requires extra patches on wayland egl, which are currently under review on wayland maillist and they were just posted at the same time as the new driver was released.

Here’s one obvious caveat: Steam’s user numbers are growing. So while Linux usage on the Steam Hardware Survey has declined from about 2 percent in March 2013 to 0.91 percent in February 2015, that smaller percentage is from a larger overall user base.
Meet ubuntuBSD, UNIX for Human Beings
ubuntuBSD is currently hosted on the SourceForge website and distributed as an installable-only ISO image for 64-bit (amd64) computers. You can also **download the Beta of ubuntuBSD 15.04 **(codename****”Escape from systemD”) via our website, but you need to be aware of the fact that it’s still in heavy development and bugs might occur during or after the installation.
