This is almost definitely a driver bug. You can try 1) a different version of the nvidia driver 2) nouveau or 3) the zink driver from mesa, on top of the mesa NVK driver or the proprietary vulkan driver. |

yes nouveau i've been using since i started with wayfire and works fine. i tried downgrading the nvidia driver and kernel but then had trouble even getting it to boot to the tty. kept dropping me into emergency mode. said it couldn't mount my /boot. had to add vfat module to my initrd image to get it mount. very strange, never had to do that before and not sure why i have to now. i'm gonna have to work out that issue first before i can try starting wayfire. it does boot to the tty with the latest kernel and latest nvidia driver without issue. not sure i 'm going to spend the time troubleshooting. i really dont need to use the nvidia drivers. i was just curious if i can get them working. |

Whether or not the nvidia drivers work for you is between you and nvidia. Closing this discussion for now. |

The biggest "problem" is that most of the low-level bits depend on wlroots, and wlroots doesn't officially support proprietary drivers, so getting support for this is hard :/ Even though it used to work awhile ago, so probably something broke in nvidia's drivers. |

Ignoring the title, I would recommend using a intel integrated or radeon gpu for the best wayland experience, currently. |

that does seem like the best path if I don't want to rely on the nouveau driver. I gave my radeon rx 6700xt i bought last year to my son and took his 1660ti. i think he is going to give me a hard time swapping back . ha |

wayfire keeps crashing using nvidia driver 535.113.01-1 in archlinux with kernel 6.5.4
I have KMS enabled and added these to my env GBM_BACKEND=nvidia-drm & _GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia
not sure what else I should be doing to get this working. here is a copy of the errors from my log. https://dpaste.com//A95WXVGRD
looks like relevant errors are:
EE 01-10-23 21:14:04.752 - [GLES2] GL_INVALID_OPERATION error generated. EGLImage not supported
EE 01-10-23 21:14:04.753 - [render/gles2/renderer.c:139] Failed to create FBO
