Export-GPU Utility for Gamescope-Session

I showcase the export-gpu utility I made to make it easier to set the preferred vulkan adapter to be used with gamescope. This makes use of the `--prefer-vk-...

I’ve been using ChimeraOS with a cheap AMD 5700xt I purchased from Alibaba for a few months now with great success.

I also have a 2070 super that is not currently being used and I was investigating different ways of getting this to work while still maintaining the friendly steamOS/steamdeck style user interface on my big screen that I’ve come to enjoy. I didn’t have any luck with bazzite-nvidia or anything else yet (shout out to universal blue; awesome project)

I stumbled across this YouTube video from a channel called “Matthew Anderson” where he appears to be using Prime to use an onboard video for GameScope and an Nvidia GPU for rendering.

I’m just curious if anyone else has tried this out with any success?

    Damn, I was hoping to migrate my last windows PC to Linux using Bazzite-nvidia. I guess I won’t. My main rig (AMD) is running Manjaro, my Homelab is on Fedora Server, but I have a 3080TI on Windows 10… damn.

      I tried this specifically to get Alan Wake 2 to work (with the 3080ti) and it is a less than spectacular experience as most of the effects on the game (shadowy figures, screen distortions, Ray Tracing) do not work properly in comparison to running on windows.

      In bazzite-nvidia’s defense, it does just “work” but only to the extent that the Nvidia driver works. This is still more of nvidias issue and less bazzite-nvidia. Regular Bazzite with a 5700xt worked very well.
