This isn’t really driver related. It is the Wayland compositor’s job to properly handle multiple GPUs, which is lacking in some (a very popular, Wayland library that lacks proper multi-GPU support is wlroots) compositors. Vulkan drivers and DRM are already enough to properly handle multiple GPUs. I guess Wayland implementers just haven’t cared enough about the issue, or maybe are figuring out a “perfect” way to address it (a la 3 year long pull request on wayland-protocols repo incoming)

You know this for a fact?

How does it know when it’s right if you’re the one teaching it?

Lol. It’ll work eventually.

Doubt it’s a sway problem. You got it to work with waybar in plasma, or just in a terminal? Anyways, my setup is also sway+waybar so I’ll try to use cava later today.

They’re so done with NVIDIA they don’t even have the energy to attack them on a forum anymore

Interesting. Well it was worth trying I guess.

Try increasing the height of the bar to some insane value. Just to make sure it’s not cava being unable to scale down.

I didn’t know you could run kodi straight from the tty, sounds cool. And yes, kodi has Wayland support.

Running kodi on a cage session sounds like a nice idea. Cage’s whole purpose is to run 1 app maximized.

Yeah. Unfortunately most consumers buy NVIDIA, even though they only care about the enterprise sector.

Yes. Wayland protocols take too long to get merged. Actually, a few days ago some people (mostly Valve guys) got tired of it and took action by proposing changes[1, 2, 3, 4]to the way new protocols are handled. Hopefully it gets better. Also, if your compositor is based on wlroots, then you might get support for the new protocol very soon.

The screen capture protocol was merged a month ago. Support will come soon. wayvnc, grim (and by extension grimshot) already have support for it. No compositors have implemented it afaik, but wlroots is very close to it.

That is NVIDIA’s fault. They wanted everyone to use the inferior EGLStreams while knowing GBM is better. Everyone ignored them and moved on, so NVIDIA sucks on Wayland. They did change their mind recently so maybe you’ll get support at some point in the future. Unfortunately there’s nothing to do from the Wayland side to fix this, except for adopting EGLStreams which nobody will do.

There’s no protocol yet that allows apps to observe inputs. They just started working on it so it may be a while.

Steam is not Wayland compatible. The games you are playing are most likely not Wayland compatible. This is not a Wayland issue.

It won’t need to for much longer. The protocol for screen capture was merged weeks ago.

That’s NVIDIA’s fault for refusing to adopt the agreed upon methods for rendering graphics on Linux. They tried to force EGLStreams on everybody for almost a decade while knowing GBM was better.
