Weird, last time I used it with nixos running KDE under wayland. Worked without complaint.
The only problem was, that the service did not start (or wasn’t there). You had to open a terminal and manually type in sudo spacenavd
. After that, everything else was plug and play.
They can technically but you will run into all sorts of problems. A Server is usually on all the time while a general purpose computer only periodically. There are two routes I see how you might get this to work:
Both approaches take a lot of ram (I recommend at least 16 GB).
Hope this helps :)
