Hey, just reaching out because I just installed fresh Linux (arch + hyprland, so wayland) and installed proprietary NVIDIA drivers (Driver Version: 560.35.03).
I reached out to Hyprland developer and he say it’s not them but NVIDIA
I am doing some local AI and I would like those 2GB maybe a bit more back for models not leaks, can this be fixed as this is memory after couple of hours of usage and it’s just going up, it becomes unusable at some point. Just open source the drivers, the community is more than willing to help!

bug
### Hyprland Version
appears on 3f7f4207a6dd8bd217c01514ea40e9e4b9b7874a , the … `hyprland` package from the Arch repositories, and `hyprland-git` in the AUR
### Bug or Regression?
Bug
### Description
Hyprland is utilising ~256MB of VRAM on a cold boot with the only startup apps being `hyprpaper` and `waybar`in spite of any decorations that could possibly contribute to this, such as blur or animations, being disabled. Unlike in #809 , this does not appear to be influenced by the configuration file being reloaded or windows being closed, like in #357 .(although it did seem the issues were on in the same when I read up on those) This has lead to stability issues initially believed to be related to other software, but has since been found to be an issue with the system very quickly running out of video RAM.
In case it's at all relevant, I have an AMD CPU and Nvidia GPU. the Integrated GPU allocates 1GB by default. There is an option to allocate 2GB, but it cuts into the amount of system RAM I have available.
### How to reproduce
Simply start `hyprland` and view the VRAM usage via `nvtop`
### Crash reports, logs, images, videos
I have no crash reports to show, but here's the relevant portions of my hyprland.conf file
```
animations:enabled = no
decoration:blur:enabled = no
decoration:drop_shadow = no
misc:disable_hyprland_logo = true
```

I'm not sure what the "Fix an issue causing KDE crashes, which also caused exces… sive VRAM usage when resizing." was supposed to fix.
Resizing X11 apps like steam still makes Xwayland VRAM usage skyrocket but seems to stop at around 1.3GB. I'm not sure exactly what component causes this but I'll leave it here.
They know, if you check the issue I made, there is a workaround.
Got it under 300MB now thanks to that workaround by @cubanismo
