How can I get sway to work with NVIDIA and a greeter. I just want to be able to sign into sddm and have it launch I understand that it is not officially supported but unfortunately I bought my GPU before I switched to linux and do not have the money at this point to buy an AMD equivalent.

EDIT: I found a solution when looking it up again.

edit /usr/share/wayland-sessions/sway.desktop change Exec = sway to Exec = sway --unsupported-gpu

it will look like this

`[Desktop Entry]

Name = Sway

Exec = Sway --unsupported-gpu

Type = Application`
