Any idea if you can use the proprietary nvidia driver for better gaming performance while running sway via nouveau? I'm still on i3 on my desktop but sway everywhere I have amdgpu or intel.
- Zambyte 2y agoYou definitely can't run nouveau at the same time as the propriety drivers. You can just use the proprietary drivers though. I don't know my exact stack, but I have definitely run CUDA and ROCm software while using Sway.
- porphyra 2y agoWith recent nvidia versions, proprietary drivers work decently with Sway if you enable kernel modesetting. There was some jank with fbdev (an optional framebuffer thing with better performance) at some point, not sure if version 550 fixed it.
