    Maybe you can try logging in before changing the file. Then quit steam, change the file and restart your steam system and then try to open steam. This was the exact process I followed and it worked.

    Edit : the change to the .desktop file is not applied until you reboot your system.

    This is an issue/bug with steam trying to open with the dGPU. In the steam.desktop file, change the PrefersDedicatedGPU (might not be exactly worded like this) parameter from true to false. Though after using this, you might have to use the DRI_PRIME=1 with your games to make them use the dGPU

    Edit : credit for this goes to a kind gentleman who helped with the issue 2 months ago when the new steam UI dropped.


  • The main thing is to game at lower resolution and quality settings as much as possible while keeping . Somebody also suggested gamemoderun and that can help. My laptop with a GeForce 930m can barely run CS GO at 50fps at 720p low settings and the GT 730 is even weaker so keeping realistic expectations will also help you be happier with the performance you have




  • Riddle me this - Some people's argument against using telegram is that it is not as secure as WhatsApp(which on face value is true because WhatsApp is E2E encrypted while telegram is not E2E encrypted). Other people claim that only hackers and terrorists use telegram and that is why they don't use telegram. My question is why are people like hackers and terrorists using telegram in the first place if it has worse security while having no upsides for these kinds of individuals.




  • This is the same reason why I don't use opensuse or fedora. Tried it out on an older machine and the dependency issues due to using packman/rpmfusion packages for media codecs really bugged me. Which is a shame considering how good the rest of the experience using opensuse is.

    Also I have endeavourOS setup to my liking on my current device and I do not want to go through all that again.
