Hey people,
KDE recently merged in more support for discrete GPUs through
swicheroo-control and I noticed that the logic both KDE and Gnome use
does not probe if the GPU is actually discrete/dedicated or not, only if
it was used at startup.
On Desktop setups, it's not uncommon to see a discrete/dedicated GPU as
the default and an integrated GPU on the side, which both desktop
environments would assume to be the better one, with Gnome even adding a
context option to "Launch using Dedicated Graphics Card" when in reality
it would use the integrated GPU.
I've looked into contributing to fix the issue, but from the outside, it
appears that RedHat is no longer interested in spending resources on it,
essentially leaving it unmaintained for the time being.
This issue isn't new and has been bothering users for a while:
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/8074
https://github.com/flathub/com.valvesoftware.Steam/issues/784
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/8069
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/8179
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/8983
https://github.com/bottlesdevs/Bottles/issues/2967
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/246007
etc.
Does anyone know if there is something that can be done about this?
Jan
