This is supposed to be Steam's Big Picture mode. Running it with GPU-accelerated rendering enabled causes the above glitched main menu, but running it with acceleration disabled makes Big Picture mode extremely laggy.
Who do I blame, Nvidia or Valve? Sigh.
Anyway, specs and stuffs...
- Latest EndeavourOS, Arch Linux-based, kernel 6.8.7-arch1-2 (64-bit)
- Using Wayland, w/ KDE Plasma 6.0.4 as desktop environment
- OS freshly installed hours ago, so should be up-to-date
- Intel Core i5-6500, iGPU enabled in BIOS/UEFI but not used
- Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 GPU, using proprietary driver 550.76
Blame aside, any ideas on how to get accelerated rendering working on the GTX 1050 with the proprietary driver? Or is there a way to try using the integrated GPU just for the Steam client itself β in case it is an Nvidia issue β, but still run games on the GTX 1050? I am aware of Nvidia Optimus, but don't know if that can be used on desktop systems, nor how to set it up.
Note that, while I'm not a complete Linux newbie, I don't daily drive it and have mostly just used for basic, GUI-less home server setups.
Because, apparently, AMD GPUs are less problematic on Linux than Nvidia ones, I went and ordered a cheap, used Radeon RX 460 to use instead of the GTX 1050.
Could've used Windows instead, could've tried messing around with settings more, etc., etc., but this seemed like it'll probably be the least headache-inducing option...?
(famous last wordsβ’?)
