### NVIDIA
NVIDIA GPUs tend to have problems running niri (for example, the screen remains black upon starting from a TTY).
Sometimes, the problems can be fixed.
You can try the following:
1. Update NVIDIA drivers. You need a GPU and drivers recent enough to support GBM.
2. Make sure kernel modesetting is enabled. This usually involves adding `nvidia-drm.modeset=1` to the kernel command line. Find and follow a guide for your distribution. Guides from other Wayland compositors can help.
### Nix/NixOS
There's a common problem of mesa drivers going out of sync with niri, so make sure your system mesa version matches the niri mesa version.
Also, on Intel graphics, you may need a workaround described here: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Intel_Graphics
