minus-squareLexi Sneptaur@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoInteresting, what GPU and DE did you use? Distro? I was able to get things running smoothly on my GTX 1070 with Wayland and KDE Plasma. With NVIDIA, you also do have to set up DRM (Direct Rendering Manager): https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA

I had everything set up properly, nouveau devs confirmed it was a bug (I was getting a kernel warning when using a certain OpenGL application) The proprietary driver had unbearable flickering/screen tearing on Wayland. I will say that besides that one application the nouveau driver worked great but unfortunately it was a deal breaker for me.
minus-squareLexi Sneptaur@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoWait— doesn’t sway require you to enter —my-next-gpu-wont-be-nvidia to launch? I didn’t think sway would ever work with Nvidia.
minus-squarejdaxe@infosec.publinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoWith nouveau you don’t need any special flag, with the proprietary driver you have to use --unsupported-gpu or something like that
minus-squaresomeguy@lemmyland.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoThere’s an open issue for xwayland for a lot of the flickering issues under nvidia, with a lot of disagreement about how to solve the issue: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/issues/1317
minus-squarerussjr08@outpost.zeuslink.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoThis issue is definitely the biggest blocker for me using Wayland right now. No Night Light is annoying, but can be worked around. However, this issue - not as much…
