Browsers have poor wayland support on Nvidia, lots of visual glitches.

[BigMitchGit]

When running any chromium based browser (didn't test others) through wayland on a 5070 TI, I get visual glitches every second or so. And they are bad. Flickers everywhere, showing my background for a second here and there, etc.

I make it fallback to X11 which fixes this.

$browser = chromium --new-window --ozone-platform=x11

I simply put this in hypr config, so it's no longer an issue for me. But knowing @dhh he might want this automated so it works well out of the box.

I'm on a 4070 and haven't noticed this issue, maybe it's generation specific?

Interesting... could be.

What nvidia driver are you on? I'm currently on 570.144-3 nvidia-open-dkms

I'm on the 575.64 nvidia-open-dkms, may want to try that one as a first step

That seems to have indeed been the problem. Closing this issue, thanks.

@BigMitchGit When did you install Omarchy? Curious whether you ran our install/nvidia.sh setup and it still didn't work right. Or if you installed before we had that?

@dhh About 2 days ago but this one's probably on me. I already had a hyprland setup running on EndeavorOS instead of pure arch.

I just ran the install script on that, with the wget command. It also didnt install your default apps like signal and stuff, ended up doing that manually.

Some of my existing setup might've interfered, not sure what happened.

Ahh, gotcha! If you ever do a fresh install, let us know if you find that it's not working out of the box. I'm very keen to have Omarchy Just Work with any Nvidia setup.
