Wayland tiling compositor that will work okay with nvidia?
Wayland tiling compositor that will work okay with nvidia?
I understand that nvidia support for wayland is lacking, but I know it's possible.
For context, I was using sway 1.8 for a while (no official support for nvidia). It was working almost perfectly, only minor issues. After the update to 1.9, I get constant flickering.
I can downgrade to 1.8, but the fact that 1.8 was working tells me that it is possible for a window manager to work well for nvidia. The problem is the sway team does not want that headache (understandably so).
Are there any alternatives that work well with nvidia?

labwc is working pretty well these days. Screen tearing for games and all.
There are a bunch of environment variables that I set this time though, which may have contributed to a better experience this time.
Labwc is quite possibly the most stable and sane Wayland WM there is today, but op wanted a tiler. (Sway does crash every once in a while, Labwc doesn't and the devs are more open minded about features)
Regions give manual tiling possibility though, which is actually how I prefer it. I'm testing a new patch that someone recently did to support focus based on region, which is nifty.
