@luana Thanks for explaining into detail. What I meant is the compositor that usually come with distros and whatnot doesn't behave nicely with my GPU. I am bounded to keep using X11 for a good while. @luana I'm curious, what do you use in your desktop? I would say KDE is the most personalizable one, unless you use something like hyprland or sway. |
@kariboka @nixCraft Wayland is just a protocol, and it βsupports Nvidiaβ. The problem with Wayland is that itβs just a protocol so different wayland compositors have completely different support for things.
There are compositors that support NVidia. Louvre (a compositor library) explicitly supports NVidia (tho there arenβt many louvre compositors out there yet), and Smithay never refused support to NVidia like Wlroots does. There are some Smithay compositors out there (such as Cosmic).
Unfortunately Wayfire, which is the only wayland compositor with the features I need, uses wlroots on its backend which works like shit and wlroots refuse to give you support. When I make my compositor Iβll probably use Smithay since itβs in Rust. I also thought about trying to migrate Wayfire to Louvre, but thatβd probably be just as much work as making my own compositor anyway.
