I’m using fedora 40 (Wayland)
previously I was using x11 and my GPU driver was fine, but after moving to wayland, my GPU driver really didn’t work.
when I checked using “glxinfo | egrep ‘OpenGL vendor|OpenGL renderer’ it turns out I’m using an integrated gpu, I’ve looked for many ways but haven’t managed to replace it.
I already install nvidia driver + cuda
On another recent thread I read about creating or modifying a file that should solve this problem.
In that thread (I don’t have the link) they mentioned creating or modifying the file /etc/environment with this content.
QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="wayland;xcb"
GBM_BACKEND=nvidia-drm
__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia
ENABLE_VKBASALT=1
LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=nvidia
WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS=1
I just tested that on my laptop with intel + nvidia and I got this in wayland
$ glxinfo | egrep "OpenGL vendor|OpenGL renderer"
