I bursted into laugjter when he started pulling out an actual arsenal of weapons. It was very unexpected.

pacman -Qtdq

I don’t think you will ever be able to use Wayland on Nvidia without enabling modesetting which sounds like you haven’t.

I should check that out. Can you just stream any application to your phone?

I nuked NixOS so can’t really test but doubt this is relevant. It was working before and Arch has the same issue.

Weirdly, anything after Proton 8 was not able to properly recreate the compatdata folder because of a bug in the script. I fixed the bug and get it to generate the prefix but the issue with the game not launching is still there.

545 was working until recently

Can you go and buy an ARM CPU and build a desktop system with it?

I though wine merged their wayland drivers?

I can only speak for the desktop, not laptops, when I say it works perfectly on Gnome and KDE and even Hyprland which doesn’t even officially support Nvidia hardware. That said, for the first time in two years I started having big issues with a few games (though, I don’t play a large number of games so take this with a grain of salt). Right now, I have an xorg session on the side to play those games. Although, I’m starting to notice it’s missing some things from Wayland that I’ve gotten accustomed to.

Wayland is expected to get much, much better when the 555 drivers drop explicit support in May and when proton enables the wine wayland drivers.

Okay, will give it a try. We’re talking about SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/<gameid> right?

I have reinstalled the games. Does steam preserve compatdata if you uninstall a game?

My experience with Nvidia had been mostly seamless (although, laptops could be performing worse) up until recently when everything started bursting into flames. Electron applications are nuts, steam store doesn’t even render, multiple game broke down fully. I can’t even find any other use reports.
