minus-squarejdaxelinkfedilinkarrow-up7·edit-22 years ago2080ti 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.
minus-squaresomeguy@lemmyland.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·2 years 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-up3·2 years 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…
minus-squareKangie@lemmy.srcfiles.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoSeemingly fixed on kernel open driver!
minus-squareLexi Sneptaur@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 years 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-squarejdaxelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 years agoWith nouveau you don’t need any special flag, with the proprietary driver you have to use --unsupported-gpu or something like that
minus-squareKangie@lemmy.srcfiles.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoNouveau 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".
minus-squarejdaxelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoI’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.
