You need to install CUDA first, if you have a Nvidia card. Limine is already an option when you install the os.

    Thanks. Seems you're correct and Sunshine profits from CUDA when using this NVFBC but it doesn't seem to explicitly depend on it to run. I tried it pretty soon after installing EOS and can't imagine having installed CUDA so early. Last time I explicitly did it was for Ollama.

    I just looked on that EOS machine on which Sunshine worked right from the start and no CUDA package is installed but nevertheless nvidia-smi shows CUDA Version 13. This seems to be because the nvidia driver brings the CUDA runtime with it which differs from the big CUDA toolkit. I'll try CachyOS again when I eventually buy an AMD GPU.

    I think you meant Cachy when you pointed out Limine is an option while doing automatic partitioning. And yes this worked very good. I meant that Endeavour doesn't offer it at that point in install.

    Have a nice week.

    You're welcome. I knew about CUDA because I hit my head with it with manjaro. However, I vaguely remember that when I tried in Cachy, it asked for the dependency as well. I think I tried to install with octopi tool though.

    Yes I meant Cachy for limine, I didn't know Endeavour didn't do it too.
