i tried sway recently with those changes, but it still needed the —unsupported-gpu flag and had lots of flickering. i thought there might be an alternative i don't know about

I've had some luck with Hyprland (after following https://wiki.hyprland.org/Nvidia/) but it does take some hacks, and I'd imagine results will vary.

i was more charitable about trying unofficial/unsupported nvidia setups that require hacks in the past, but not any more. they take extra work to set up initially, constantly break on updates, and leave a minefield of unknown unknowns that rear their heads when you’re trying to work. the result is a compounding amount of wasted time.

official support is the way to go for me, so i’m back on X for the time being

I'm using wlroots-nvidia package in arch for a few months and made swaywm totally usable.

I'm using a ryzen laptop with external display via the nvidia GPU. All good!
