Trying to get my dedicated card play on some wine and non wine games

Issues & Assistance Unsupported Software (AUR & Other)
1

Hello all,
noob here,
Ive been tying about 3 hours to get my nVidia card to work on these games.
Sadly no luck.

Ive noticed that the throguh wine installed games have in properties a way to be run with dedicated card.(honestly still got the feeling the intel GPU is running)
but whenever i try the prime run command i just got error.

I tried installing the optimus-manager but totally failed cause i got no clue on how to get that download working.
Im not sure what to do anymore and if anyone got any idead what to do it would be appreciated..

Okay uhh
First of all I need you to undo everything you did.
I read Optimus manager and I already know all the Garuda Linux default configuration is messed up.
I suggest you load a snapshot from before you messed around with that and then post a new garuda-inxi as well as the error you get when using prime-run.

How do i load a snapshot?
i didnt replace the garuda pkg with optimus after getting a warning about conflict..
but i might somehow screw up nVidia driver and dont know how to fix it

Hi @V3L4, welcome to the community. I hope this helps:

After snapshot restoration i get this error:

find-the-command: "prime-run" is not found locally, searching in repositories...
find-the-command: "prime-run" may be found in package "extra/nvidia-prime"

after which a menu pops up with install etc. settings

edit: turns out the whole system need to download updates.
WIll update if the prime-run works afterward

You’re still with the open source driver.
Are you sure the auto install completed successfully?

This means a reboot is pending.

Any help or any idea what to do..?

Also is there any command to run Wine installed games on Nvidia Dedicated card?
I cant find any info anywhere and ive been looking for two/almost three days...

edit:
I tried this GitHub - wildtruc/nvidia-prime-select: This a fork of FedoraPrime enhanced for all linux distributions
which broke my system and had to re:snap
