Hello everyone,
sorry if this question has already been answered, I’ve tried to check the forums but I couldn’t find what I was looking for.
I’m currently using a laptop which came with a Ryzen 7 5700U CPU with and iGPU and a dedicated NVIDIA 1650 Mobile GPU, the iGPU is used to render the image on screen and so far I’ve been happily using it without issues, I can game on it, browse and everything. The issue came when I tried to make gamescope work, and I noticed that if I launch vkcube from terminal the dGPU gets used to render the model, instead of the iGPU, since this laptop is somewhat recent I’m guessing that the iGPU should have Vulkan support, so I’m asking if there’s a way to check if the iGPU does support Vulkan. I stumbled upon this website which should catalog all the GPUs known to support Vulkan and I guess mine would be listed as AMD Radeon Graphics.
Here’s my inxi -Fxxx output:

And here’s my ls /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d output:

pacman -Qs radeon doesn’t return any result. Do you guys know if the issue could be that I’m missing some packages for Vulkan support on the iGPU, or if my iGPU just doesn’t support Vulkan?
