From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've been using Wayland (Hyprland) for a couple days now and I notice there's no support for Nvidia settings. Nvidia X Server Settings will open without the possibility of making any changes.

Do we know anything about future plans on integrating Nvidia settings on wayland?

What setting are you trying to change? Some stuff can be done via CLI tools.

Enabling G-Sync and increasing digital vibrance on my second monitor. Everytime I need to increase the vibrance on my second monitor I have to first boot into xfce, open nvidia settings until the profile loads then log out and then log into hyprland. It's very annoying.

You may set profile you need once, save it into nvidia-settings file and load on every startup.

I have to log in to xfce for the profile to take effect. I set Nvidia settings to start at login, even though the process does start on Wayland it doesn't apply anything until I enter xfce, then I can exit it and start my Hyprland session

How do you start it exactly? With nvidia-settings -l?

Also you can try to do that with something like xvfb which would start X session and let nvidia-settings to apply it's profile.Probably 😅 .

I can't provide you a source now (since I can't find) but it was discussed recently in the news that Nvidia promised Wayland support by the end of 2023.

There's also NVK driver: https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/news-and-events/nvk-update-enabling-new-extensions-conformance-status-more.html
