  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.

  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    I run proprietary Nvidia drivers as well and Wayland runs so much better than Xorg now that I'm permanently coming over to Wayland. I'm extremely happy rn with Wayland

    How are the games, and especially Electron apps? Gotta know this.

    If you can enable wayland / ozone electron apps do fine otherwise still flickery

    So there is a way-around, didn't know about this. Is this the package chromium-wayland-vaapi ?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    You need to set some environment variable I think, and the app needs look for and obey it. Search ozone

    I get 1080p 120fps consistently with my RTX 3050 Mobile and high refresh rates

    Seems nice. Have you tried different types, like native, proton, older proton versions, lutris etc?

    Not who you were talking to buy also have an 3050 Mobile.

    Runs things like Dolphin, Age Of Empires 2, 3 (definitive edition) and 4 great (had to hide igpu from aoe 4 because it thought it had 16gb vram). Never run them under X11 because I like the trackpad gestures in GNOME, but also have never had to.

    However, it should be noted that the NVIDIA card isn't really interacting with Wayland as desktop rendering is handled by the igpu in hybrid laptops (unless explicitly set). On my PC with a Quadro M2000 on driver 545 there is alot of flickering in Xwayland apps on Wayland so I use X11 there. Someone from NVIDIA actually submitted something to fix th flickering but it hasn't been incorporated yet, don't know if it ever will. NVIDIA should just fix it in their drivers (which hopefully 550 does).
