### Nvidia Patches
Nvidia is notorious for not working by default with wlroots. That's why we
patch wlroots.
In the NixOS and Home Manager modules, you can enable the
Nvidia patches using `programs.hyprland.enableNvidiaPatches` and
`wayland.windowManager.hyprland.enableNvidiaPatches`, respectively.
## Using Nix repl
If you're using Nix (and not NixOS or Home Manager) and you want to override,

Then you can run Hyprland from the built path.

Hyprland Nvidia Patch is **NOT** an official patch and is not maintained by us.
If you have any concerns (updates, broken pkgbuild, etc), you should contact the maintainer.

`nvidia-dkms` is still **required** to run this patch, Install the `nvidia-dkms` driver and add it to your initramfs & kernel parameters before running. You should still however read the content below to make sure the patch is properly working and to avoid any bugs/crashes.

It _should_ work now.
## Fixing screensharing / screenshots
Apply nvidia patches to the wlroots in `subprojects/wlroots` before building.
See [patch](https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/nvidia.patch?h=hyprland-nvidia-git)
and [hyprland-nvidia-git's PKGBUILD](https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=hyprland-nvidia-git#n72).
## Fixing random flickering, method 1
If you take a look at the wlroots patches in the [nix flake](https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/blob/main/nix/wlroots.nix)
you will find a one-line patch:
```sh
substituteInPlace render/gles2/renderer.c --replace "glFlush();" "glFinish();"
```
What this means, for non-nix users, is you have to (before building) go to
`subprojects/wlroots/render/gles2/renderer.c` and replace all occurrences of `glFlush()`
with `glFinish()`, and then compile Hyprland as usual.

Do note though that this forces performance mode to be active, resulting in
increased power-consumption (from 22W idle on a RTX 3070TI, to 74W).
