Let me guess... You have an Nvidia card.
Protip: People who have iGPU + nvidia can just set the iGPU as main GPU on the BIOS and offload 3D programs to the nvidia via prime-run like they would on a laptop.
That's my setup.
I used to do this, but literally just switched to discrete Nvidia yesterday.
Zero issues so far. TBH it actually fixed issues I had with HDR and video decoding on my AMD IGP.
Guilty as charged
So you are living in an illusion of choice, while your options are obviously determined by the big corpo that you relied on for getting that card
(Saying that, I got an NVIDIA card like a dumbass too)
....more like a gifted old laptop, but yeah.
So not your choice either XD
My 16G RTX-3080 Mobile works well with Niri
I've found it varies from compositor to compositor:
Since I love the scrolling aspect of Niri as well, it works out well that it has the best Wayland support. 10/10 project. I love it
When I was on X11 still I was primarily an i3 user, and the transition to Hyprland and Niri has been generally positive
But yeah, I've worked with Nvidia on Linux for several years now on multiple machines. I'm finally throwing in the towel whenever I buy a new PC. AMD all the way. It's just better on Linux, even on X11
Maybe ill check niri next. Any good distro to test it with?
CachyOS has it out of the box in their installer.
my old rtx 2080 worked perfectly for video capture on gnome wayland portals but had stutter on the desktop on both x and wayland. plasma actually ran better.
truth is you never know what you are gonna get with nvidia drivers.
Didn't they straighten out Wayland support? I thought this was a thing of the past as of 555, but I also haven't run Nvidia myself in years and years.
My work PC has a 3080 and the latest
nvidia-dkmsin the Arch repo. I haven't had a single display-related issue for probably a year.With the same setup I had constant issues with Variable Refresh Rate, monitor sleep and actual sleep...
Nvidia on Linux did not want to work well for me
I had an NVIDIA card when I switched to Linux about two and a half years ago and Iβve never had an issue AFAIK.
NVidia on wayland is fine now. I've been running Fedora 43 for about a month on my gaming PC, even the boot splash works at native resolution
I was on 580 and had issues on CachyOS and Bazzite and Garuda Linux KDE Lite with an RTX 4080.
The latest Nvidia drivers have broken composition in Xfce, so I've been raw-dogging basic X11. It's like I'm using WinXP again.
I'm represented, but run AMD on desktop and Intel on laptop.
