Somehow, it's keep showing "not found" ☹️

Never though valve will team up. Still, a good way to promote edge 👍🏻

Wonder how many titles noted as unplayable?

Quoting: mcphailI package a few games. I'm not sure whether to add this to the .desktop files. Would it be seen as user-hostile if I was making this default decision for users? Most of the games I package would run satisfactorily on integrated graphics but might be better on a dedicated gpu.

There are laptop configurations where the dGPU is functionally slower than the iGPU. My laptop for example is like that, the iGPU and dGPU are rated at just about equal performance but either due to thermal issues (single, shared heatpipe) or other overhead the dGPU consistently under-performs. On the other hand though, these kinds of systems are basically broken designs, so they may not be worth working around.

If you are unsure then relying on the default behaviour where GNOME optionally allows launching games using the dGPU is probably fine.

Sound like Asus X550DP 😂

HP Notebook 13 or whatever. Got it because it had a hybrid GPU setup I could test for GOL with an APU + AMD GPU combo. At the time most laptop choices were Intel + Nvidia and I have no interest in buying an Nvidia card.

I see.. Your case is similar to my Asus X550DP. It come with AMD A10-5750, Dual Graphic HD8650G + HD8670M.
I have been hunting a way to use discrete graphic card on Linux but ended up with no easy solution. At the end, i find out that the dGPU is just very slight better than the iGPU, but it came with a great cost. A lot of x550dp user ended up with dying GPU due to overheat. Luckily I moved to Linux after few months purchasing it and find no way to active the dGPU.
I wonder why the manufactures implant a dGPU if it's perform almost similar to iGPU.

The original purpose of those setups was to use Crossfire between the APU and the dGPU to get higher performance. Obviously on Linux Crossfire was never really a thing, so it's not relevant to us. Technically Vulkan could make use of such setups but it's debatable if game devs will actually bother.

Wow.. I see.. Thanks, learn a lot today

Never saw those "launch with discrete graphic card" until I install Pop! OS 20.04

Quoting: TheRiddicklooks good to me, be nice if it had nvidia and amd gpu temp/data monitoring also. And for some reason it can't detect my memory modules.

the creator of this apps said on OMGUbuntu comment, it must be run under "sudo" to get full memory information.

Hi adibuyono, I fear I was not clear enough on my other comment: please, never start GST with sudo, it is not needed and could even create issues. What I wanted to say is that superuser permissions are needed to read the RAM information. GST will ask for these permission automatically when you press the "Read all" button on the top left corner. GST will never know your password because I'm simply using pkexec to run dmidecode as root.

My bad. Since I am too noob about Linux, I though root, superuser and sudo are the same thing. Thanks for correcting me and wish I don't create problem to the others
