So Wayland on Nvidia is working on my system but in Hybrid with Intel. NV only kicks in when I load an app that might benefit, eg a game. I’m trying to get full-time Nvidia proprietary driver on the Gnome desktop environmment as well however because the performance of Intel on my Laptop is poor. Is there a way to force full-time Nvidia on Wayland like I presently have on X?
NB: I have followed the main tutorial for setting up NV driver. I’ve attempted to install my drivers without the Intel driver (eg without Optimus) but it would appear it that Intel is still being invoked.
Hopefully this info helps, I saw it on another post…
