I have a nvidia GPU and wanted to use wayland / sway. I was able to get it working, but setting WLR_RENDERER=vulkan makes it stop working. Since sway does not officially support nvidia GPU usage, it seems I may be out of luck
I dont own many games, but I tried a few and they worked fine without issues. But I always heard that vulkan is the future of linux gaming.
Will I be missing out on a lot by not using vulkan renderer with wayland / sway? Do some games not work unless I use vulkan ?
You don’t need to run your window manager in Vulkan mode in order to play Vulkan games, in fact most common window managers use OpenGL, ex. Plasma (yes it has experimental Vulkan renderer but it crashes like crazy)
