How do I set up dual GPU on Lenovo Legion 5?
questionhardware-compat
New user here. I just installed Bazzite on my Legion 5 and I'm having difficulty figuring out how to set up an "optimus" with the iGPU and dGPU. Is there a best practice for achieving this?
OS:
Operating System: Bazzite 42
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.18.0
Qt Version: 6.9.2
Kernel Version: 6.16.4-115.bazzite.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Hardware:
Processors: 32 × Intel® Core™ i9-14900HX
Memory: 32 GiB of RAM (31.0 GiB usable)
Graphics Processor 1: Intel® Graphics (UHD)
Graphics Processor 2: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU
Manufacturer: LENOVO
Product Name: 83DG
System Version: Legion 5 16IRX9
More info:
-Installed Bazzite build for Intel UHD as primary GPU (unsure if this was the correct choice)
-Secure Boot was enabled during installation; got the blue screen mentioned in the installation guide, selected "Enroll MOK", entered password, accepted - no errors, continued boot
-Tried various commands in Steam launch options (DRI_PRIME=1, etc.); verified with performance monitor that dGPU was not engaged
-Tried using menu editor to force Steam to use dedicated graphics card; Steam would not launch afterward
-Discovered ujust commands and found what appeared to be relevant options (configure-nvidia, configure-nvidia-optimus, etc.), but had no idea how to proceed so I stopped before I broke anything
