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 ?
The renderer of your window server is completely unrelated to the renderer of the game. If you were using i3 before you were using Xorg and therefore not Vulkan anyways.
