I think it’s pretty clear from the error.

It looks like you can add extra parameters to the start-sway command by adding this to /etc/sway/environment:

SWAY_EXTRA_ARGS=“--unsupported-gpu“

I don’t think you’ll have a good experience using nvidia with sway though, if the developers explicitly make you jump through hoops.
