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 ?

    ahh, so the game itself can use vulkan and it is not necessary for sway itself to use vulkan?? wow well that makes me very happy, thanks a lot!!
