I guess getting rid of Windows won't be so easy after all. I unblocked my Nvidia GPU so it's usable on my Linux host, and tried using it as primary GPU since it better anyway. It runs like shit. So now I use both the AMD and the Nvidia GPU and only use the desktop on the AMD outputs. That's great. But Affinity just refuses to see the Nvidia GPU as rendering device, even if I use the desktop on both GPUs. ​​ And I haven't even checked if I can set the GPU in Minecraft. I didn't buy this GPU just to have it doing nothing in the computer.

I explicitly had to go against literally all guides which tell you to disable DXVK and enable it. Now the Nvidia GPU shows up in the list. Next dilemma: Affinity under WINE doesn't save settings, and I have no idea what the XML file is supposed to look like, so I have no way to set it manually. ​​

@volpeon@icy.wyvern.rip did you install the proprietary nvidia drivers? By default it will use Neuveu which are really slow.
Though, I heard newer nvidia GPUs have official open-source drivers, not sure what they're like.
Sorry if you know this already just thought I'd check

@volpeon I know you probably have Affinity running on Windows yourself, so this might not actually be helpful, but if you need I can give you my settings xml files and folder structure as I'm running Affinity on my Windows machine. ^^'

@SteffoSpieler If you mean Affinity V3, then that would be super helpful. ​​ It would be a pain to revert the GPU changes, install Affinity in the VM and apply them all again ​​

@volpeon oh, yeah of course I mean V3

Just tell me what you need (I don't think the whole .affinity folder is required?) and I can send it to you somehow :3

@SteffoSpieler It looks like the file should be at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Affinity\Affinity\3.0\Settings\Application.xml ​​

@volpeon I don't have an affinity folder inside AppData, but I have the same file in this path: "C:\Users\<username>\.affinity\Affinity\3.0\Settings\Application.xml"

Uuuh, this outline doesn't match at all what's rendered? I know from experience that especially the right curve doesn't behave like it should

@volpeon Lol? I hope that's an issue with AffinityOnLinux and not Affinity itself

@Baa I installed the open source nvidia drivers. It's actually the only choice CachyOS leaves me with my GPU. ​​

@volpeon @Baa oh but, that does really affect how well the GPU operates ;;

like i get why because the open drivers are much less painful to work with in every way possible.

but they're an entirely reverse engineering based effort, Nvidia does not at all help these people, if anything they've been encrypting their firmware since the GTX 980 so it's exceedingly hard to actually make proper drivers for it.

i don't want to be 'that person' but please don't blame linux for nvidia's shitty actions.

It's a Wine issue. V2 has the exact same problem

@anthropy @Baa The driver is literally developed by Nvidia? github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules

@volpeon@icy.wyvern.rip @anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz @Baa@mk.absturztau.be the open/closed only relates to the kernel part of the driver, userspace is proprietary. and you can use the legacy (aka closed) on cachyos (which still sometimes works better and the open ones only target rtx20/gtx16 and newer)
