[Bug]: NVIDIA XWayland lockup and pywal

[Dreded]

Issue

on my nvidia card anything that uses Xwayland freezes, this means that using pywal to set the wallpaper causes a lockup

Solution

since it seems pywal isn't used to set the wallpaper, just to get its colors we can disable it from setting the wallpaper with the -n and -e options. as far as I can tell this makes everything work as expected and avoids calling xwayland

edit .config/hypr/scripts/PywalSwww.sh

• change -> wal -i "$wallpaper_path" -s -t &
• to -> wal -i "$wallpaper_path" -s -t -n -e &

edit .config/hypr/initial-boot.sh

• change -> wal -i "$wallpaper_path" -s -t &
• to -> wal -i "$wallpaper_path" -s -t -n -e &
