Kcorrect
Awell, how come i9 9900k has able to use gamescope with no issues which it has uhd 630 like mine i just confused on that part
Konly works nested
Kdoes not work as a sole compositor
Kmissing vulkan extensions
Ayikes that means rip no deck image testing
CI zoned out counting how many things are called gamemode, what's that?
Kthere is steam os gamemode (the session)
Kand feral interactive gamemode (an optimization tool we explicitly remove and don't use)
Kso as far as bazzite is concerned there is one gamemode
CBasically, let's say your iGPU speaks perfect english (OpenGL) and knows just a little bit of spanish (Vulkan), let's say the iGPU is reading a book in english (Gnome or KDE) and then, the book suddenly have some parts in spanish (nested gamescope) because, I don't know, some cheesy mexican characters show up, your iGPU can understand it still, as it's only a small part, and you have the context. But it turns out those mexican characters became really important, so now, the sequel to that book, is 90% spanish and 10% english, now your iGPU is in trouble, because he wants to read that book (gamescope as the sole compositor), the poor iGPU can only understand some stuff, it's gonna get confused, and it's gonna say "screw this, I'm gonna drop the book", and bam, crash, death, finito
Aokay i do understand

CNow let's explain this:
Let's say your NVIDIA GPU is a writer, the greatest ever, but he doesn't write directly in a PC or a typewriter, she uses a secretary (your Intel iGPU) to type out the book for him, but not only the secretary writes the book, she also translates it from english to spanish, makes all the drawings, and all of this is done at the same time and in real time, the writer keeps talking and talking and the poor secretary does all the work.
Issue is, that doing all that, as you can imagine, is REALLY hard, the poor secretary can't keep up!, she has amazing skills, but can only do so much at once without telling the writer "man, shut up for a moment please, I'm in chapter 1 and you are already talking about chapter 4!", the poor writer has to slow down (a big hit in performance), the secretary cannot possibly keep up with such a fast speaking writer, so the book (frames) gets written slower than if you just gave the writer a direct access to the computer, no need for translation, no need for drawings, just type and type and type, so the writer (remember, your NVIDIA GPU) can go and write the book as faaaaast as he cans.
Unfortunately, your writer kiiiinda hates the publisher (gamescope) and while he speaks perfect spanish, something they require, he doesn't want to work for them, so unless they get in better terms (driver updates and fixes), you'll have to wait for his secretary to write the book... problem is, that your secretary lied in her resumé/curriculum, she speaks spanish... just enough to know how to ask where the bathroom is, so you are basically boned.

COh no, I got that, but I meant I was lost and wanted to know what tuneD and why is good it replaces PPD
KTuneD is a system performance management tool made by Red Hat
Kit simply does a lot more than PPD does, and now has a PPD dbus API so all of the stuff that used to control PPD can now control TuneD
Kdrop-in
COooh, and why is it better?
CLet me guess, PPD stands for power profile demon?
Kyes
Aanybody having problem with this just stuck with off?
Ait would be nice if somebody has experienced it and fixed it.
HDoes not work in BPM thats why.
And the reason it does not fallback to toggle the old fps counter like in Windows is a steam issue, not something we can fix

ABPM with gamescope?
AMangohud works
ABut you have to do a weird trick that is done by session plus to get it to launch
HBPM = big picture mode (gamescope can be nested individually for games)
gamemode/gamescope-session = BPM inside gamescope
when i say BPM im talking about desktop BPM
gamemode/gamescope-session = BPM inside gamescope
when i say BPM im talking about desktop BPM
AActually never looked into the performance overlay in just BPM
AMy fps counter worked...
ALemme see
ASo there you go works in just bpm
Hi know it works in windows
Hhm actually let me check something
AI'm in Linux
AThat happens when you're running under gamescope steam can smell that I think
Hthey must have manually added the
that disables it
-steamdeckthat disables it
AI don't think steam deck does that
AI tested the flag on off
AThe overlay still worked I think
Hin think in steamos it re enters gamescope session
Hdoesnt do it on my deck image i use on my workstation, but i also disabled gamescope autologin for it, meaning that functionality might not work for me
AYep it's the steamdeck flag you were right
AJust tested it
Hyeah and @DarkSkill has an nvidia card, so gamescope session will not work, not sure if they added the
-steamdeckSteam deck flag adds the advanced settings stuff in that panel. Hardware too
Hin most cases it works to just add
SteamDeck=1 %command% as a launch argument to the gameAPlus Bluetooth and brightness
AThat's cool did not know that
