Hello, I have a Linux machine with an NVIDIA GPU running a Wayland desktop environment and thankfully NVIDIA drivers are finally improving to the point where former issues are theoretically fixable. In particular, I’ve run into the infamous flickering screen effect running the flatpak version of Plex HTPC in fullscreen, which is supposedly fixable with their most recent driver release allowing explicit sync. Being totally honest a lot of this goes over my head, but I do have the latest drivers and am not sure if the fix needs to be implemented on the development side. I was wondering if this was on anybody’s radar, and if a fix in the near future was likely?
Edit Update:
Ok I was digging around and found an error message that may be related:
ERROR - Failed to create wl_display (No such file or directory)
INFO - Could not load the Qt platform plugin "wayland" in "/app/bin/../plugins/platforms:" even though it was found.
Hopefully that is useful, it seems that the Qt wayland libraries are just failing to load for some reason.
Update 2:
Ok found another post with some helpful insight. I overlooked the flatpak permissions, it was set to default to X11, that said, with the setting changed, it crashes immediately when launching like the other poster. My OS log is the following:

My plex logs that (I think) are relevant:

To also preemptively post, I’m using NVIDIA proprietary drivers, my NVIDIA driver version is: 555.58.02, CUDA Version: 12.5, sudo cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset returns Y, so I believe there’s nothing wrong with my system (recently performed a clean install, so it should be pretty fresh). First thought was to try “releasing the floodgates” in Flatseal and make sure that there was nothing important being blocked, but it still crashed. Truth be told, like I said originally this is reaching the limits of what I understand about Linux, so any help would be appreciated.
