Nvidia about dwl

[sevz17]

dwl does not support proprietary drivers (if you mean nvidia cards, only if you use nouveau)

Just to be clear it doesn't mean that it won't work but expect problems with proprietary drivers. If nvidia is your secondary GPU like in laptops then it's generally fine because it is only used for e.g. games but if it's your only GPU then...

@pm4rcin Hi I actually have a laptop with hybrid graphics like you said, nvidia being my secondary gpu and intel my primary one, from what I understand in this case dwl won't really work if I run the entire compositor using nvidia like: prime-run dwl

But does that mean that if I run dwl with my intel gpu by default and run applications/games with prime-run (and with proprietary nvidia driver installed not nouveau) It should still work?

Last time I've tried was at dwl 0.4 and everything worked perfectly since I've used nvidia for Games which still use XWayland. So it should be no problem when Nvidia is your secondary GPU. I did use prime-run back then without problems. Btw. in case you didn't notice main repo and patches have moved here so make future comments there.
