sway --unsupported-gpu
If you try to run it without that option it silently fails at any login screen. If you run it at the console you will note it TELLS you to run it with that option. This means the developer has detected what needs to be done to start a session and is silently telling you to go fuck yourself. There is no argument that every distro ought to exec a wrapper script that tests if you are running nvidia and if found pass --yes-I-understand-fuck-me-sideways when the net effect would be to replace the body of the if statement that already exists in the devlopers code and more to the point I don't think anyone has. You may note here is the default desktop file as provided by the project.https://github.com/swaywm/sway/blob/master/sway.desktop
This is what everyone is using and it is exactly as broken by default as I claimed.
If your not holding it wrong then something else MUST be at fault. Your distro must have fucked up the packaging, your app doesn't support wayland, your GPU's wayland support isn't up to snuff. Again users don't usually hire a programmer to figure out which piece of software is to "blame" nor care.
If you have a little red switch and you toggle it to the left and everything works and you toggle it to the right and nothing does most people are going to toggle it right. People have more important shit to do than figure out why toggling it left makes their lives suck.
Look at this exact example with you positing a wholly fictional distro packaging or display manager problem to paper over the fact that sway is literally designed to crash at the login screen if you use the GPU with >80% of the discrete market share.

Almost 2/3 of people are still using X11 because as experienced by users Wayland is kind of shitty.
That’s just your distro of choice fucking up the packaging, or you having installed some special display manager that handles it bad. If anything, xserver is/was a huge pain in the ass to start properly, and sway will just properly startup from console N.
If you want a 100% works suckless experience, then linux is not for you, period.
