Running: swaymsg for_window “[app_id=mpv] opacity 0.5”

Works as expected on my end, are you missing just executing for_window?

Note, you can also add multiple rules in the same execution, e.g.

<span style="color:#323232;">for_window {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    [app_id=mpv] opacity 0.85
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    [app_id=LibreWolf] opacity 0.85
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span>

Also, note that app_id of LibreWolf is capitalized in that manner. You can get that information [app_id, shell etc] by running swaymsg -t get_tree

Feel like most people still do the scripting in Bash for portability reasons, and then just run Fish as the interactive shell

Start with the basics, do you see your Nvidia GPU pop up when using vulkaninfo --summary?

If it doesn’t pop up, verify that you have the correct vulkan ICD files in: $ ls /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/

There you should have nvidia_icd.json, nvidia_layers.json. If that’s missing, you’re missing the nvidia-utils part of the driver.

If they are there, but it still don’t show in your vulkaninfo sumary, you could try to load the nvidia driver manually; modprobe nvidia, also check the kernel logs journalctl -k or dmesg and search for nvidia to see whether the driver got loaded correctly?

Nice, then you should be able to run vkcube to verify whether your GPU is activated properly.

You can do several “iterations” here as well.

1. Install Mangohud so you can visibly see if your GPU is activated correctly
2. Run mangohud vkcube-wayland - Does it use your Nvidia GPU?
3. Run mangohud vkcube - Does it use your Nvidia GPU?

If Step 2 nor 3 shows your Nvidia GPU you can try and force it with: mangohud vkcube-wayland --gpu_number 0
