### GPU drivers
It is necessary for a graphical enviroment to install GPU drivers. To install the drivers for your GPU use one of the following commands:
##### For Intel
```
# xbps-install -Sy linux-firmware-intel mesa mesa-dri vulkan-loader mesa-vulkan-intel intel-video-accel
```
##### For AMD
```
# xbps-install -Sy linux-firmware-amd vulkan-loader mesa-vulkan-radeon amdvlk xf86-video-amdgpu mesa-vaapi mesa-vdpau mesa-dri
```
##### For Nvidia (*glibc only*)
```
# xbps-install -Sy nvidia nvidia-opencl
```
#### 32-bit drivers
(Only applicable to glibc as Void Linux musl only supports 64-bit)
To run 32-bit applications like some videogames it will also be necessary to install the 32-bit drivers:
##### For Intel
```
# xbps-install -Sy mesa-32bit mesa-dri-32bit mesa-vulkan-intel-32bit vulkan-loader-32bit
```
##### For AMD
```
# xbps-install -Sy vulkan-loader-32bit amdvlk-32bit mesa-32bit mesa-dri-32bit
```
##### For Nvidia
```
# xbps-install -Sy nvidia-libs-32bit
```
### CPU firmware
To keep the firmware of your CPU up to date it is necessary to install the correct microcode:
#### For Intel
(The Intel microcode requires that you are using the nonfree repository)
```
# xbps-install -Sy intel-ucode
```
And regenerate the initramfs:
```
# xbps-reconfigure -f linux<version>
```
#### For AMD
```
# xbps-install -Sy linux-firmware-amd
```
### Nvidia + Wayland
For Nvidia to work correctly with Wayfire you'll have to add the boot parameter to `/boot/loader/void-options.conf`.
```
nvidia-drm.modeset=1
```
And reconfigure the kernel:
```
# xbps-reconfigure -f linux<version>
```
