I started daily driving sway during the transition from wlc to wlroots back in early 2019 (sway 1.0), so it’s been 5 years.
Note that’s since I got an HiDPI laptop in 2015, I have been looking at Wayland progress from the GNOME side for a long time, but not completly daily driving it because of some annoyances.
Been running endeavor OS on my MSI delta 15 (all AMD with no nvidia card) with KDE and it switches between integrated and dgpu like it should. However after installing gnome and using it for a bit I noticed that it was always having the dgpu idling. This basically cuts my battery life in half, and making it less than desirable....
Hello OP, on this kind of system GNOME should use the igpu by default and the dGPU only when an App “launched with dedicated graphics” from the menu, or with DRI_PRIME=1 from the command line. (Also some vulkan game can also select the dgpu)
If that is not the case this is a bug.
Are you using x11 or wayland, can you see what is using the dgpu with nvtop ?
If you launch mullvad from the app icon, try you add to PrefersNonDefaultGPU=true (or false) in mullvad-vpn.desktop (cp /usr/share/applications/mullvad-vpn.desktop ~/.local/share/applications
If it is autostarted add it in .config/autostart/mullvad-vpn.desktop
Or add –disable-gpu to the in Exec : Exec=“/opt/Mullvad VPN/mullvad-vpn” --disable-gpu %U
While looking for my first ergo mech keyboard, I wanted something small with choc switches (and spacing), splay and wireless support. The Hillside 46 looked really nice but I wanted to make some changes to it including support for the nice!view, a large battery and the cirque trackpad. That prompted creating a fork of the...
I have been pretty happy with my hillside46 (with the outer columns removed, hence 40), it’s my daily driver since January, I migrated from a Lily58 (which was my first ergo). I have been using miryoku (inverted-T variant) on it, ask me anything.

Do you daily drive Wayland, if so since when, if not when will you?
I’ve been on Wayland for the past two years exclusively (Nvidia)....
Is there a way to stop gnome from using dGPU?
