Nvidia building

in ubuntu 23.04 the only thing you need to do at system level is:

add nvidia_drm.modeset=1 to /etc/default/grub in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=, and thats it
then you need to run sudo update-grub and reboot

after that we need to apply the patches:

apt-transport-https

First, if you are on Ubuntu Cosmic, you need to manually compile json-c because the version provided is 0.12.1, but sway requires at least version 0.13. It is pretty straight forward, so take a look here.

Then, we need to install common dependencies between wlroots and sway-1.0.

sudo apt install gcc pkgconf meson ninja-build libwayland-dev libinput-dev libcap-dev

Secondly, we need to install wlroots dependencies.
