wonder how to get this computer to run the desktop off the dedicated gpu so i can try the 4k stuff.

i tried it earlier but renoir screams and gives you like 12fps on cinnamon.

Renoir screams as in it doesn't let you run the desktop off the dedicated gpu? Can't you just disable the integrated one from bios? Or are we talking about a laptop here?

@alyx its a laptop. i have no idea how to tell linux to run cinnamon with the dedi.

usually env DRI_PRIME=1 (something) will run a process on the dedi.

@icedquinn
You could probably uninstall AMD drivers, and it should default to nvidia.

I was looking a while back at this older reddit post that deals with switching graphics with an AMD/nvidia system. Might be useful.

@alyx uninstalling the amd drivers will 100% not work given both GPUs are AMD. :blobcatbath:
@alyx what i need is for cinnamon to run on DRI_PRIME or otherwise get the renoir to shoo.

@icedquinn
Oh... ok. Try looking over the reddit post. You might be able to adapt the instructions there, as they don't have you uninstall drivers.
