Course Fedora does literally the same thing and doesn’t get any hate for it so idk. It’s just a meme.

When have fedora gone their own way ¿? What have they shipped that is not standard on Linux¿? Closest thing I can think is using selinux and firewalld instead of Apparmour and ufw.

Isn’t nvk supposed to be a part of what nouveau provides like how RADV provides vulkan functionality for the AMDGPU driver.

This is what I don’t get. AMD has driver issues on windows because of a combination of their own incompetence and windows updates doing stupid windows things - people squarely lay the the blame on AMD. NVIDIA releases bad closed source drivers causing issues on linux - somehow the fault of linux and the open source communities.

These people should be hounding NVIDIA to fix their issues instead crying to DE developers to fix issues caused by NVIDIA.

I would wager nvidia. Wayland works way better with amd and intel GPUs.

Thanks. I no longer get the error messages when running it from the terminal but I am getting the same issues i was getting earlier when I run it from the desktop

Well there were/are attempts to make flatpak with flathub an universal app store on linux. If I remember correctly, there were some ideas mooted on adding paid apps in to flathub.

Maybe you can try logging in before changing the file. Then quit steam, change the file and restart your steam system and then try to open steam. This was the exact process I followed and it worked.

Edit : the change to the .desktop file is not applied until you reboot your system.

The line you are changing is the right one. Change the PrefersNonDefaultGPU option from true to false

https://lemmy.one/post/151466. Refer to this for the location of the file. This is for the native .deb package

This is an issue/bug with steam trying to open with the dGPU. In the steam.desktop file, change the PrefersDedicatedGPU (might not be exactly worded like this) parameter from true to false. Though after using this, you might have to use the DRI_PRIME=1 with your games to make them use the dGPU

Edit : credit for this goes to a kind gentleman who helped with the issue 2 months ago when the new steam UI dropped.
