    NixOS? Ain’t nobody got time for that. I still try to not struggle with weird flickering while gaming using EndeavourOS + Hyprland using Nvidia graphics. It’s a pain. But one day I’ll make it work and it will feel so good.

      I think that’s entirely a Hyprland problem. Iirc there’s some option in the misc config group in the config to help mitigate that.

      E: I meant specifically opengl:nvidia_anti_flicker

        Yeah I tinkered around with it a bit yesterday. There are some tips in the hyprland wiki, talking about adding nvidia specific modules in mkinicpio that might help. Problem is that, seemingly by default, it’s using dracut. Right now that whole construct is going a bit over my head tbh.

        I also tried adding those custom rules:

        windowrulev2 = fullscreen,class:^steam_app\d+$

        windowrulev2 = monitor DP-3,class:^steam_app_\d+$

        windowrulev2 = workspace 10,class:^steam_app_\d+$

        workspace = 10, border:false, rounding:false

        But they don’t seem to work

      Good news! The flickering issue has been solved a couple days ago, with new support for explicit sync in Wayland. The fix just needs to be merged into wlroots and hit the Arch repos, then your troubles are over.

          Maybe Ubuntu LTS will backport the update to their older versions since the issue is a deal breaker for affected users. But I wouldn’t count on it cause it isn’t a security issue.

      I mean I love it but I really can’t recommend it to anyone who wants to use their PC without spending several hours to do simple things.

      I can install Vanilla Arch in 10 minutes, how is EndeavourOS “a pain” ?
