seriously how. I have no idea where the fucking profile configs go, I followed the instructions on the debian wiki and duplicated my login screen in a shittier resolution.
The best “solution” I have is dumping this into the games command line on steam, but it STILL uses the intel grfx card as well as the nvidia one. playing videos for more than 5 mins overheats the intel processor while the nvidia one does fucking nothing
I’m thinking about following these instructions to disable a pci device, but i’m scared of bricking this fucking computer (again) and wasting another weekend re-installing the os instead of working on projects
I’m not sure on Debian, as Debian tends to sit on old releases of stuff for a long time. On Arch with KDE Plasma Wayland or GNOME Wayland, I just install nvidia-open-dkms and let it do its thing. Vulkan automatically uses the NVIDIA RTX 3070 in my Razer Blade 14 2021, no weird hacks or command line arguments required. Also, NVK is also quite usable, so I have set up rEFInd configs to boot with either NVIDIA driver loaded or nouveau. NVIDIA Settings is an antiquated tool and pretty useless if you’re using Wayland.
this laptop is from 2017/8 so it’s also old AF. I’m not using wayland for as long as I can, as wayland breaks my shit and leaves me mad. X11 on plasma until I upgrade the plasma package… and then we’ll see.
Wayland works much better than X11 on all of my systems, it works better for render offloading due to better synchronization and it allows for variable refresh rate and HDR. It did take NVIDIA way too long to implement decent Wayland support though.

EDIT : The below doesn’t work.
