NVIDIA (495) on sway tutorial + questions (Arch-based distros)

Graphics / Linux Linux
13

I am stable-ish with

wlroots 0.14.1-2
sway 1:1.6.1-1
egl-wayland-git 1.1.9.r0.gcd0d19a-1
libglvnd 1.3.4-1

The “ish” comes from the fact that Chrome under wayland produces a million errors but still renders, and I have some truly awful screen flickering / tearing whenever anything is updating on the screen (especially bad in firefox).

It seems like the sway 1.6.1 I have pulls from wlroots 0.14.0 where the flicker might be a known issue.

Nope, wlroots just only prints its major version. And I still have the flicker when building from git.

Could be Glitches with nvidia driver 470 (optimus render offload) on xwayland with vulkan games - #9 by saikat0511

mpv is completely unusable.

Does anyone have hardware cursor working? I had to disable that.
