Hthe bios only control (if the option is exposed) if the motherboard video out ports are enabled or not when a dgpu is present
Kreally depends on what you need
Kdo you want to play on the go?
©Bazzite in anycase where you have a choice i say....i LOVE Bazzite since i came across it a few weeks ago
Aif i had steamdeck i would wipe steamos and use bazzite deck cuz bazzite just better in overall
Hanyways i have to head out now, need to help my mom shovel snow, bit hard for her to do it when she is in a wheelchair atm
©This uBlue distro is just FREAKING fantastic IMHO...
H
Mtrying to imagine a custom build wheelchair snowblower now
Mniche market but could be huge
R
Hplease do, i bet my mom would have a blast on it 
Halthough she wouldnt reach the top of her trailer that she uses to transport her scooter
Aikr, i need to figure out what i need to keep me enjoyed with using this amazing bazzite
©To be honest i see uBlue, or Bazzite in this case, as the way to go and prepare for PXE boots from the cloud in future world wide...
Hi think your plan for now should be stick with having to use the nvidia gpu and plan out an upgrade in the future to an amd card (or intel card if things have improved with those cards by that time)
and if it is a prebuilt then just plan your next build ahead of time

Hi planned out my threadripper build back in 2009, just had to wait for hardware to be available for my vision
©I decided to make it my main OS, need to transfer all my stuff from my other setup still though
Aif i want to get upgrade they are pricey as hell so it might take me while to complete the build
Him not saying upgrade today...
RBazzite is so good that it made me (together with Steam Deck) into a PC gamer primarily (saying as someone who was mainly console gamer in the past)
©Oh you bet, i will switch AWAY from nVidea as soon as i can, i just spend enough on this new system so it had to wait
Hi said plan your next upgrade
KNvidia will get better with time too, so long as you have a 2xxx series or better
KNVK is around the corner
Ayou prefer nvidia gpu or amd gpu or just change cpu intel to amd?
Ayeah nvk is getting way better real fast
Athere is potential we might see ray tracing with it
RWill NVK support DLSS etc.? Are there any plans for it to support or it would be too unfeasible to get working?
©My prefernce is AMD for both CPU and GPU
Aactually i never tried amd brand ever
Hi prefer whatever works for the tasks i try to accomplish, back in 2009 nvidia was the better option in linux, now it is amd and intel while nvidia is currently the worst (unless you do cuda stuff specifically)
KI doubt it very much, likely it'll primarily support FSR and XeSS
Kand anything else that can be supported as open source, like LatencyFlex over Nvidia Reflex
Hi try to be as hardware and software agnostic as possible with what i do as long as it acomplishes what i want to
Aor could use gamescope for fsr or dlss
©I don't care anymore whats "best", all i care about timely and proper support for LINUX... which nVidia has killed for it self for me in past decades
Kgamescope has no dlss support, and it only offers FSR 1.0
Always better to use FSR built into the games you're playing
Always better to use FSR built into the games you're playing
Kor the DLSS2FSR tool
Ai meant nis nvidia upscaling
Hanyways i have to go, have a nice day/evening/night/morning $TIMEOFDAY
RI see, thank you. I'd be willing to forego DLSS (for FSR/XeSS) if AMD GPU's also weren't inferior (in a major way) in raytracing perf compared to Nvidia cards.
Ais it true intel and amd has open source drivers since begining of linux at start?
©That's just temporarily, AMD has always been superior in CPU's so i dont doubt they will comeup with something better as nVidea soon or in near future....
PI think I only have one game that really has ray tracing that I've noticed
Kpath traced half-life
©RayTracing is over hyped, no games REALLY use or need it yet...
PI also didn't feel like spending a used car worth of cash on my gpu. And I wanted it to just work
RI disagree with this take, raytracing can be way more transformative to game visuals than any raster perf increase at this point of 'diminishing returns'.
Asame thing with nvidia overhyped when rtx 40 series came out lol
