Thank you for producing such a truly excellent distro. It has inspired me to finally spend the time to get sway/wayland working on my Nvidia RTX 2070. There are still glitches in some Xwayland apps (including the Steam interface and Gimp, the latter can be fixed by using the gimp-git from AUR), but everything else (especially 3D apps and games) works better than in Xorg. At this stage, all of the applications I need for my workflow are pretty much flawless.
FWIW, that last chunk in my .profile (see attached screenshot) is what allowed me to run Manjaro Sway on nvidia.
Do you think those flags should be added to the distro or will it fail for non Nvidia then? I have a Nvidia card in my p52s that isn’t causing any troubles, to I could at least test that it doesn’t degrade there.
No, I don’t think those flags should be used for non Nvidia users. I’m not too familiar with Calamares, but perhaps giving the user some kind of option during install might work? I also have no idea how those flags interact with the Nouveau drivers. FWIW, I installed Manjaro Sway from the repos over a Manjaro-i3 install.
At least one of these is a duplicate (MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1).
The last one causes 3D Xwayland vulkan/ogl apps to fail, so it is commented out. But it does fix the glitches I mentioned in the first post in 2D Xwayland apps, such as mainline Gimp.
WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS should always be enabled (not just for VMs).
I have no idea if these settings work on Nouveau, but I have my doubts.
