My parent commenter did not refer to Sway, that's why I rejected the claim that AMD is the "only way for you to get a usable desktop with modern features".

I'm not sure what you're referring to. I've successfully launched and played Wine games with Nvidia proprietary drivers in Gnome with Wayland.

How exactly, when it's not supported: https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/Wayland/NVIDIA https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/Wayland/NVIDIA There is currently no accelerated GLX support when running a GNOME Wayland session no top of the NVIDIA drivers, meaning X11 OpenGL applications will use software rendering.
- themacguffinman 7y agoI can't say I know the details, but I have played CS:GO (non-wine) and Overwatch on Wine without any special hacks with performance indicative of GPU, not CPU rendering. Perhaps it's because they're using Vulkan instead, or the docs are alluding to edge cases that I haven't encountered? I have very little technical knowledge of how it works, but I can say that it is absolutely working.
- shmerl 7y agoYou likely weren't using Wayland session, but X11 one.
- themacguffinman 7y agoNo, I definitely wasn't. The games may be running through XWayland, but my Gnome was definitely running with Wayland.
