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.

By dragging their asses you mean adding it it their very first beta driver just a few weeks after it was merged into Wayland/Xwayland?
Also after doing a gigantic amount of the work to get it into wayland/xwayland too
Ah sorry, I got it backward. Nvidia is dragging their asses on implementing "implicit" sync, so Wayland devs and nvidia ended up with a compromise and implemented the explicit sync protocol. IMO it's just another example of Nvidia doing whatever they please and forcing everyone to do it their way or highway.
