Force radv vulkan driver?

[zany130]

I need amdvlk for a certain game (trails of cold steal 4) but amdvlk break's scene wallpapers if the plugin uses it. Maybe and option could be added for selecting a specific vulkan driver

How do you switch the vulkan driver on a game?
Setting environment variable?

yeah with VK_ICD_FILENAMES as mentioned here https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Vulkan#Switching_between_AMD_drivers don't know if it would be possible to add an option that sets this env for the plugin though.

mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user/plasma-plasmashell.service.d
systemctl --user edit plasma-plasmashell.service

Add following:

[Service]
Environment=AMD_VULKAN_ICD=RADV

Then:
systemctl --user restart plasma-plasmashell.service
