  • Description:
    Every screen refresh will make the screen flicker, mouse movements, cursor blinking and app launching. This is the first time I'm trying to use a tiling manager for installation which is why I don't know the reason. I am testing swaywm on cachyos (default installation and configuration) in gnome boxes for now as I want to see if it will work but it does not. I've attached a photo of the flickering that happened below.

If relevant, the kernel I'm using is 6.14.1-2-cachyos, graphics is Intel UHD graphics 620. I am also aware that sway is for wayland and i3 uses x11. I tried the same sway config for i3 and it worked without issues but I prefer to use wayland for sway which is not working.
