  • Thanks for the link. I tried running that, but it seems to fail loading the noveau-driver (I have the proprietary Nvidia-drivers installed, as far as I know I don’t have noveau installed). Does Godot in some way depend on using noveau, and can I install that alongside the proprietary drivers?

    This is the output from running with index 0 (as you can see, I’m using a Flatpak build, if that would make a difference?). Index 1 did not use the Nvidia-card, but rather llmvpipe or something (I’m guessing CPU-emulated card?), and that was extremely slow.

    Godot Engine v4.3.stable.flathub.77dcf97d8 - https://godotengine.org

    The second block is after loading the project where it switches to Vulkan from OpenGL.

    I’ll try the on-demand thing mention in the same post tomorrow, I’ve yet to ever try running that instead of either dGPU completely on or off.







  • Depends on your budget, I guess. My setup consists of a regular Samsung Smart-TV that I have disconnected from the network, connected to a mini-PC from Minisforum running Linux Mint. The reason I got that was mainly for gaming, could get away with a significantly cheaper option if not. I run my own Jellyfin-server for media content (movies, TV and music) and use FreeTube to watch YouTube (which I sync with my laptop and mobile using SyncThing). I do use a wireless foldable and rechargeable keyboard with built in trackpad, but it’s not working as great as I imagined. Corsair used to have a nice media keyboard, but as far as I know they have discontinued it and I haven’t yet found a new one that fits my criteria, so I keep using the foldable one.

    As for gaming, I run emulation through RetroArch and Steam in big picture mode. I have four 8BitDo Ultimate controllers in case I get any friends over who are keen on a round of Mario Kart.
