Poor support indicates that the driver is not able to properly handle Vulkan realtime shaders and it will present as visual stutter. Non-robust solutions will suffer stutter under very high GPU load. +- **PRIME/ Hybrid GPU Support**: Compatibility with systems using multiple GPUs simultaneously. Monado and all clients must be run on a single select GPU due to memory tiling requirements. +- For Nvidia proprietary drivers, only native Linux XR applications are stable. OpenComposite leads to crashes. +- AMD GPUs lower than RDNA generation have functional but less robust reprojection capabilities, expected to be similar to Intel. +- PRIME configurations are generally functional across all but Nvidia's proprietary drivers, which are known to crash with OpenComposite for Steam applications. The open-source Nvidia PRIME support remains untested. +- Audio over displayport is known to temporarily cut out when new audio sources spring up on pipewire. +- X11 configurations are highly discouraged but possible to run, please upgrade your system to Wayland if at all possible. \ No newline at end of file
