Hi,

Installed bumblebee and primus following the fedora documentation here: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/...

My intention is to run Steam games using discrete Graphics.

Testing optirun on glxspheres64, I have way better performance than using primusrun. However, Steam won't launch any games using optirun.

I think this is because I dont have installed optirun for 32bit. Documentation doesn't say how to do it. Also copr package repository only has x86_64. Any ideas?

Fixed. Added the repository mentioned here (manually) https://github.com/chenxiaolong/fedor...

add 32-bit repo: sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.o...

32-bit primus libs sudo dnf install primus-libs.i686

In any case, using primusrun for games is better (steam overlay works better, etc) and more stable

On steam game launcher properties do: primusrun %command%
