Intel iGPU + NVIDIA setup - VAAPI & KDE
I have an Intel iGPU (i9-13900k, i915/xe) and an NVIDIA GPU (RTX 4090, nvidia-open) and I want to somehow get hardware accelerated video decoding/encoding to work on Chromium as that's what Discord uses.. would also allow Zoom to be somewhat more usable on the system.
So I have 2 question:
1. Can I have a situation where the iGPU only exists for the sake of VAAPI? I'm interested in getting video encoding/decoding working with VAAPI (it should utilize QuickSync Video) while other usage e.g. games/CUDA/Tensor will use my NVIDIA card?
2. I noticed that if I don't add
module_blacklist=i915,xe to kargs, KDE Plasma takes like 30 seconds until the initial login. I haven't noticed any other downsides. Should be I concerned? Is it better to bkaclist i915,xe or let them run even though I have a dedicated GPU?2 replies

vaapi bridge for NVIDIA/Chromium video hardware acceleration
I'm trying to get the vaapi bridge for NVIDIA working so that Chromium can get hardware accelerated video transcoding. I use Firefox myself but it really is just for Discord/Vesktop. Only instructions I was able to find were on the Arch wiki and they didn't work unfortunately. Works fine on my AMD system via vaapi. vainfo doesn't report EncSlice for any codec.
Any help is appreciated

RTL8852AU
Running a Beelink SER7 device with the bazzite-deck image. The device has a barely usable WiFi/Bluetooth configuration so I bought external adapters. The Bluetooth one works (I think it’s AX200) but the RTL8852AU adapter doesn’t have a kernel module as reported by
lsusb -t (it says “[none]”). On Arch and other distros with dkms I can just add it as a dkms module, which Bazzite and Silverblue don’t seem to have. https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8852au
What’s the most straightforward way to get this working on Bazzite? Getting an Intel based adapter isn’t an option atm (I can’t return the one I got to the store)10 replies
