I just retried Sway on nvidia proprietary drivers. It is still a bad experience imo compared to i3.
* Cursor didn't show up at first. I had to use `export WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS=1`, but the software cursor had some noticeable latency to it.
* Extreme flickering in both Firefox and terminals. I installed wlroots-nvidia [1] but even then the flickering, while improved, was not gone. I manually played with WLR_RENDERER options between gles2 and vulkan but they all had flickering. [2]
In the end I decided that the flickering issue prevents me from using Sway.
