seriously how. I have no idea where the fucking profile configs go, I followed the instructions on the debian wiki and duplicated my login screen in a shittier resolution.
The best "solution" I have is dumping this into the games command line on steam, but it STILL uses the intel grfx card as well as the nvidia one. playing videos for more than 5 mins overheats the intel processor while the nvidia one does fucking nothing
__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD_PROVIDER=NVIDIA-G0 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only
How the fuck do I use this?

EDIT : The below doesn't work.
I'm thinking about following these instructions to disable a pci device, but i'm scared of bricking this fucking computer (again) and wasting another weekend re-installing the os instead of working on projects
