Sway 1.3 Release Candidate Brings Many Changes For This i3-Inspired Wayland Compositor

The biggest issue for me is the lack of nvidia support (I need CUDA) . I'm stuck on i3 until that is resolved, but the devel doesn't have interest in working on it.

For good reasons. If you like Wayland and need CUDA, I think there's no way around a multi GPU system.

The reasons are definitely good, and I'm not blaming the sway developer. I liked Wayland a lot back when my primary pc had a 7970 in it. But I must stick with x11/i3 due to nvidias lack of gbm support.

Yes, see this issue: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/2966
Even though it is closed, there is still no solution.

Looks like the propsed fix was not accepted and thus the issue was closed.

Anyway I had no idea this problem exists because I use all my displays at 1.00 scaling.
There seem to be some workarounds but no offical solution yet. :|

You're going to be stuck on i3 for a very long time then. Try buying hardware from an open source friendly company next time.

Good on the Sway developers for saying "no" to Nvidia's gross shims and hacks.
