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.
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.
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 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

I also tried adding those custom rules:
But they don’t seem to work
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.

Switching from Mint to Arch? Best idea ever! Thanks for the heads up.

I can install Vanilla Arch in 10 minutes, how is EndeavourOS “a pain” ?
I didn’t say EndeavourOS was a pain. Read it again. The combination of hardware and software is the problem, not the OS.
Yep my bad
