Well... you were one of the most vocal critics saying it wouldn't happen anytime soon.
> unfinished, hacky implementation (the author's own concession)
Still more stable than Intel's official Arc drivers, so who defines "hacky"? ;)
> Plus, you're going to be stuck on x11 until any serious GPU drivers get written
Only because it is running on macOS, which supports X11 but not Wayland. On Linux, Wayland or X11 will both work, no problem.
> No MacOS-like trackpad gestures either, you'll be waiting for Wayland support to get that too
Again, Wayland will work on Day 1, it's just a limitation of running the driver on macOS until the kernel support is ready. When it is on Linux, Wayland will be a full-go.
