			:Hello RafTeog,
			:you can just start to edit the main page here. Its sometimes difficult to see whether a fix is just needed because you have some special circumstances. I am not a Sway user - maybe there are some circumstances where you dont need OpenGL, because you have an xserver enabled?

			Scenario:

			On readl hardware, I installed nixos with calamares but no desktop environment selected. Then, I proceeded with flakes and home manager proper configuration. Then I tried to follow the sway guide for home manager. It was then that I ran into this issue <https://discourse.nixos.org/t/wlr-errors-when-trying-to-start-sway/28698>. The solution of that thread worked for me.

			So, I propose that <hardware.opengl.enable = true> to be added in the sway with home manager session,


			To set up Sway using [[Home Manager]], first you must enable [[Polkit]] in your nix configuration:

			security.polkit.enable = true;

			Additionally, you must enable opengl in your nix configuration //<<<<NEW LINE 1>>>>

			hardware.opengl.enable = true; //<<<<NEW LINE 2>>>>


			A general suggestion of 2 new lines can be seen above.

			I just registered and I am new to nixos. I don't know the rules about editing the page, so I decided to post it as discussion first.


			Thank you! [[User:RafTeog\|RafTeog]] ([[User talk:RafTeog\|talk]]) 19:31, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
