SwaySettings VS wlroots-eglstreams

If you're not opposed to a GUI option there is the very helpful SwaySettings project that can do this and some more. https://github.com/ErikReider/SwaySettings

I am trying to package a vala app named swaysettings (GitHub - ErikReider/SwaySettings) I created a derivation but if fails with the following error error: Package 'accountsservice' not found in specified Vala API directories or GObject-Introspection GIR directories

I would be happy to have a control center like utility for sway. I know that https://github.com/ErikReider/SwaySettings exists and it is a great project but it does not handle all core system yet

I'm developing a settings like program for sway. https://github.com/ErikReider/Sway-Settings

I actually got a chance to develop against some proprietary API and i don't blame them for not wanting to support proprietary drivers , But there is at least one guy maintaining a fork for nvidia so you can try your luck there.

The developer of the EGL stream fork of wlroots wants to migrate to the original version, maybe if he will become a maintainer there could be a change in the status quo, or he can maintain a fork with fixes.

Sway uses wlroots, which is one of I believe 3 wayland libraries (wlroots, smithay and taiwins). It just happens that sway (and most other compositors such as river, hikari, dwl) use wlroots, which doesn't care about nvidia. There is wlroots-eglstreams if you want to try that.

That is not entirely true, there is a fork of wlroots which supports NVIDIA's proprietary driver's EGLStreams implementation, which works fine with Sway and probably other WMs too, see https://github.com/danvd/wlroots-eglstreams.

In the meantime you can use wlroots-eglstreams

Install a fork of wlroots (the library used by Sway to do pretty much everything).

Also I know about a fork a guy did for wlroots that adds support for egl streams but this is far from ideal, it's a interesting job nonetheless https://github.com/danvd/wlroots-eglstreams

If your a technical person , you can give wlroots-eglstreams a try (it's a fork of wlroots adding nvidia support).

As of now you can run Sway with wlroots-eglstreams, which is a work-in-progress fork of wlroots, working as drop-in replacement, see https://github.com/danvd/wlroots-eglstreams and https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wlroots-eglstreams-git/.
