[–] Sneptaur@pawb.social 4 points 3 years ago (1 child) Interesting, 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 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jdaxe@infosec.pub 7 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) (3 children) 2080ti with sway/wlroots. Distro is Gentoo. 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] someguy@lemmyland.com 6 points 3 years ago (2 children) There'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 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] russjr08@outpost.zeuslink.net 3 points 3 years ago This issue is definitely the biggest blocker for me using Wayland right now.

I didn’t think sway would ever work with Nvidia. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jdaxe@infosec.pub 3 points 3 years ago With nouveau you don't need any special flag, with the proprietary driver you have to use --unsupported-gpu or something like that permalink fedilink source parent [–] Kangie@lemmy.srcfiles.zip 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) Nouveau sucks for anything post 1000 series, it's just not there yet. I'm on Gentoo and my 2000 (and 3000) series card is perfect on Wayland under KDE Plasma. Give it another go - I'm pretty sure your issue isn't "Wayland" or NVIDIA". permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jdaxe@infosec.pub 1 point 3 years ago I'm an i3 user so sway was the easiest way to transition for me, so I think I'll just wait for sway to improve with regards to NVIDIA drivers before I give it another shot. permalink fedilink source parent
