Grim Dawn won't run on dGPU
Hello everybody! I waant to thank you in advance for your support! I have a laptop with the usual two gpu (will post some system summary in the first reply), and the dedicated one, which is NVidia, is usually automatically selected by the couople of games I usually play with heroic (Timberborn and Citizen Sleeper 2)... But Grim Dawn seems fond of using the integrated GPU whatever the cost (I'm certain of this because I can't find it in
nvidia-smi
nvidia-smi
process list). I tried switching a couple of versions of wine-GE, proton-GE and proton-hotfix, and I manually set the following environment variables
__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia
__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia
without any result... And I think the root cause of my issue might be related to Vulkan version, the same cause of this post, because I also made the following tests: - adding the
DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME
DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME
environment variable with the dGPU name as value will cause the game to fail graphics engine initialization, with a
DXVK: No adapters found. Please check your device filter settings and Vulkan setup. A Vulkan 1.3 capable driver is required
DXVK: No adapters found. Please check your device filter settings and Vulkan setup. A Vulkan 1.3 capable driver is required
in the logs. Installing all the winetricks mentioned in the linked thread don't change the result. - unchecking all the DXVK options in the configuration window will actually run the game on the dGPU, loading the main menu with heavy glitches and an immediate crash after starting the first game... Is there any way, in your opinion, that I can convince this game to run on the discrete GPU? TYVM!

Screwed up by moving boot partition
Hello everybody! After reading the rules, especially the one aimed to not waste the time of those who'll try to help me, I'll try to keep this post as short as possible 😅
if you'd like to read more details there's a longer version of the story on reddit Well, long story short: I moved all the bazzite partition, including EFI (hd0, gpt5) and boot (hd0, gpt6), and now GRUB goes directly in rescue mode. I am still able to make it work and complete the Bazzite boot by manually loading the correct config file (which is stored in (hd0,gpt5)) and I'd like to fully repair GRUB so that this can happen automatically. On a non-immutable distro this would be fairly straightforward, IIUC, but Bazzite prevents me to simply sudo grub-install (and I have a doubt that this would not work even if I could do that). Does anyone have an idea on how reinstalling GRUB without reinstalling Bazzite from scratch? TYVM! For the record: I've also got a plan B (reinstalling GRUB by installing a new Bazzite instance and overwriting the EFI and boot partitions, and then clean up from there), but as a Computer Science teacher I'd like to learn the clean way to do it, if possible, so that I can pass the knowledge on 🙂 Reinstalling Bazzite from scratch is the plan C, and I'd rather keep that as a last resort.

[noob question] choosing the right ISO
Hello everybody! I've finally decided to pull the trigger and installing a Linux distro on my laptop. Bazzite seems ideal for working and gaming without a dual boot, but I'm having a hiccup right from the start: choosing the right ISO 😅 Specifically, the website is asking for my "primary GPU manufacturer"... Well, my laptop is an HP Pavilion 15-ec1001sl, which has both an AMD Rizen 5 with integrated graphics AND an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650Ti graphics card. I'd say that the primary GPU is the NVIDIA one, but can you confirm this for me, before I install from the wrong image? Tyvm!
