Steam OR MX Linux OR Laptop ? [Solved]

[~FLOW~]

Hello my excellent friends,
I have a weird problem, I found the solution but I don't understand it, I will try not to bore you with too many details.

I have 2 laptops with the same MX Linux KDE installation. Bowth with Steam installed from MX Package Installer. Both use the gpu from the cpu. One of them has Nvidia but I'm not using it. On both I have the same games installed. On DELL all the games work fine. On HP the games that use Proton are launching but not running, after 5 seconds I can "start" them again.
On HP if I launch with PROTON_LOG=1 %command% parameter I get an error ar the end of the file
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'dxvk::DxvkError'


The solution is to start all the games that use Proton with this parameter : PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%

Cand someone figure out why on HP I need this ???
I have the same software, kernel, configuration installed on both of them.

[CharlesV]

please post a QSI on the HP

nobody ?

Running 2 different open source drivers on 2 different graphics chips.

I'd blame modesetting vs noveau . Just a guess though. Not a gamer or KDE user since I am on my antiX 22 NUC box.

Plug the MX LiveUSB in, boot with persistence, install the Nvidia drivers, reboot to the LiveUSB again, then try to game on it with Steam and see if you get the same issue.

The issue appears to be that your HD Graphics 5500 is not supported on the Vulkin API set.

The command PROTON_USE_WINE3D=1 tells Proton to use Wine Direct3D emulation, which translates Direct3D calls into OpenGL, instead of DXVK which uses Vulcan to achieve the same.

the problem is on the other one, HP - the one without Nvidia
