so I’m new to Linux and Manjaro, please excuse my lack of knowledge.
my problem became obvious after installing Steam and trying to run Path of Exile using Proton experimental. The game only recognises the Intel (internal) gpu and I can’t select the dGPU, amd in this case.
I did a fresh install, updated everything (sudo pacman -Syu) and installed the latest drivers for amd (
sudo pacman -S --needed lib32-mesa vulkan-radeon lib32-vulkan-radeon vulkan-icd-loader lib32-vulkan-icd-loader)
