Bug ID: 371497
Summary: Wishlist: Add option to launch application on discrete
GPU
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Application Launcher (Kickoff)

Hi,
I just noticed that Gnome is adding an option to directly launch an application
on a discrete GPU when one is available.
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/commit/?id=009d021e4f93bfce69d1f4497612d804c88972b6&utm_source=anzwix
Would this be easily achievable? Currently I'm using special application
shortcuts that set the DRI_PRIME=1 variable. To avoid getting a black screen I
have to disable compositing with Alt-Shift-F12 or switch kwin to Xrender mode.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PRIME#When_an_application_is_rendered_with_the_discrete_card.2C_it_only_renders_a_black_screen
My suggestion would be:
1. Right-click application (menu entry or other shortcut i.e. desktop launcher)
2. Select "Run on discrete GPU"
3. Switch kwin to Xrender mode, set DRI_PRIME=1 and launch
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
Cheers!
