[SOLVED]No optimus-offloading feature in LMDE

[ekanto]

Talking about an optimus machine, I have LMDE 4 installed on my laptop as second OS. But I noticed it has a feature Run with Nvidia optiion missing after I right-click on an app. Also, the glx-offload command doesn't even work like it does in Mint 20. I need to run Steam with my Nvidia card. Is there any way possible to do that?

Thanks

Yes, but this doesn't work in LMDE. That's why I asked.

I'm certain I pointed you in the right direction in another thread. I checked. I did. You never responded.

Okay, I found the older post. I didn't know they were related. That'w why posted again. Closing the thread now.

Thanks for assisting.
