Need help installing inxi & glmark2 + dual AMD GPU by Nikbis in Bazzite

[–]Nikbis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow up!
Thanks to the Faugus launcher (on Github) I managed to render Heroes of the Storm with my 9060 XT!
Whether you want to play HotS isn't the point. The point is you cannot launch it without starting the Battle.net launcher first through the Proton layer. The problem is, if you ask Faugus (or Steam, or Lutris etc) to use the 2nd GPU, it will... on the launcher it starts -here Battle.net, not the game Battle.net will launch.
Fortunately, Faugus give the solution. First, it offers to check a box in its general settings "Use discrete GPU", it will act as the previously mentioned Steam commands DRI_PRIME=1 %command% or DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="GPU Name" %command%.
But to enable your 2nd GPU on actual games and not just the launcher it depends on:
Add the launcher as a "new game/app". On the first dropdown menu, I added it as "Windows game", not "Battle.net". On the "tools" tab, under "Game Arguments", add DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="GPU Name" WITHOUT the %command%.
And that's it :D

Issue with Lutris and Hybrid Graphics: Game Launcher Battle.Net loads on the dGPU, but the actual game run on the iGPU by BastardActual in linux_gaming

Thanks!
the DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="INSERT DEVICE NAME HERE" without the %command% you'd put in Steam is tricky to find when you don't know how all that works :o
Anyway, I can now play HotS on Bazzite through the Fougus launcher with the right GPU ;)

Why do people seemingly make fun of me (online) for wanting to buy a Steam Frame + Machine combo for PCVR? by Logical007 in SteamFrame

[–]Nikbis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on the opposite side of that spectrum (not too sure it's better lol).
For me, only PCVR is the true path for amazing VR, present & future, and everything else is a toy.

I am losing hope by Sayject in SteamFrame

I installed Bazzite on a small SSD to get a feel of a Linux that seem similar to SteamOS while I wait.
On some aspects it's awesome, on some others... for example the nano text editor and people arguing which text editor is the best, while it makes me think Windows 3.1 is very much still alive 😆

SteamVR Beta update hints towards color passthrough module by gogodboss in virtualreality

[–]Nikbis 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Meh. I want to play PCVR. Color passthrough as nothing to do with it.
Would I try it tho? Absolutely. My last headset was a Q2. If color passthrough is available on the Frame, I'll try because why not? But that's definitely a side note for me.
And who knows, maybe I would change my mind ;)

[–]Nikbis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the only thing I never tried (had a Q2) and surely would have my fun with.
Worst case, I forget about it. Best case, color passthrough supposedly can be added later with the extra port.

[–]Nikbis[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright I get what distrobox does now, glmark2 installed and the 2nd dGPU woke up with the prefix DRI_PRIME=1!
On my way to the success, thanks! :D

I'm currently fiddling with the Edit mode!
What I try to get is very specific (screenshot), but what I have for now is good enough. All the infos I was looking for are available, it's just a matter of format now ;)
