I have an intel cpu with integrated graphics and a discrete amd gpu. On windows I had set all apps to use discrete gpu when the laptop was on power. Before I say more, some info for my system:\n\n::: spoiler Fastfetch output\nOS: NixOS 25.05 (Warbler) x86_64\n\nHost: Inspiron 5567\n\nKernel: Linux 6.12.12\n\nDE: KDE Plasma\n\nWM: KWin (Wayland)\n\nWM Theme: Breeze\n\nTheme: Breeze (Dark) [Qt]\n\nIcons: breeze-dark [Qt], breeze-dark [GTK2/3/4]\n\nFont: Noto Sans (10pt) [Qt], Noto Sans (10pt) [GTK2/3/4]\n\nCursor: breeze (24px)\n\nTerminal: konsole 24.12.1\n\nCPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7200U (4) @ 3.10 GHz\n\nGPU 1: AMD Radeon R5 M445 Series [Discrete]\n\nGPU 2: Intel HD Graphics 620 @ 1.00 GHz [Integrated]\n\nMemory: 3.23 GiB / 23.37 GiB (14%)\n\nSwap: Disabled\n\nDisk (/): 88.15 GiB / 195.85 GiB (45%) - ext4\n\nDisk (/home): 514.67 GiB / 716.87 GiB (72%) - ext4\n\nLocale: en_US.UTF-8\n:::\n\n\nMy main issue is that my bottles apps (bottles is a wine prefix manager) can't run its wine prefixes with a discrete gpu. I have the nixpkgs version of bottles (not the flatpak one which the developer suggests using). Things I've tried:\n\n- Enabling/Disabling the \"use discrete graphics\" option inside the bottle (only the integrated gpu is being used)\n- Launching bottles from command line with `DRI_PRIME=1` and bottles opened for a little and then closed, by reporting this:\n::: spoiler terminal output\n```\n(process:4413): Gtk-WARNING **: 10:35:38.358: Unknown key gtk-modules in /home/bs/.config/gtk-4.0/settings.ini\n\n(process:4413): Adwaita-WARNING **: 10:35:38.384: Using GtkSettings:gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme with libadwaita is unsupported.
