Change Proposal Name

This is a proposed Change for Fedora Linux.
This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee.

Summary

Disable EGLStream Backends in Wayland compositors and remove EGLStream packages in next release. Nvidia already support GBM in newest drivers.

EGLStream not contains all capabilities and can contain wayland support problems, the better is for Nvidia users just use GBM based Backends in compositors build releases.

Releases modifications:

Mutter: Build without EGLStream support: Will be a PR Soon.

Kwin: Build without EGLStream support: Will be a PR soon in Fedora RPMs Soon.
