But then, I'm not an Arch fan, Steam Deck aside (SteamOS v3 is built on Arch but it's heavily curated and it runs on a read-only OS). Back to Tumbleweed and more fiddling and I just can't get PRIME offload working correctly. Everything runs on the nVidia GPU when in Hybrid mode. But! I can force Integrated mode with supergfxctl. Switching modes requires a logout/login but that's a mild inconvenience until the kernel and/or Mesa catch up with the hardware. -- \m/ (--) \m/ _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
