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.

Half of what you said are either issues with your current compositor's implementation or Nvidia driver related issues, since Wayland on both KWin and Mutter under AMD don't present any of these issues, atleast for me, while I had the latency issue you mention with my older 3080 card.
The protocol is still under development after 25 years yes, but at the end of the day you vote with your wallet, and Nvidia clearly doesn't give a shit about open-source or Linux as a whole since we're a minority.
