I just recently new machine, with an integrated graphics card, and a dedicated one, (NVIDIA), I’ve checked quite a few tutorials and forum topics about this, but haven’t still found an answer as to why my system isn’t using the dGPU
glxinfo | grep “OpenGL renderer” returns
OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon 680M (radeonsi, rembrandt, LLVM 19.1.4, DRM 3.59, 6.11.8-1-default)
and switcherooctl glxinfo | grep “OpenGL renderer” gives the same result, I’ve tried suse-prime, uninstalled and locked (which now I can’t seen to unlock to try on Wayland).
Maybe a stupid question but did you enable (and start) the switcheroo service.

Can you show the outputs ofsystemctl status switcheroo-control.serviceswitcherooctl list
Also, switcheroo works perfectly fine on KDE, it does for me anyway.
My excuses, my information was dated, I confirm switcheroo’s now working very well on KDE.

No, thats fine, I believe the proprietary driver pulls it in but it conflicts with switcheroo. Could you still show me the output of zypper se -i suse-prime?
