Dedicated GPU not recognized by Linux Mint 22.1 (Framework 16)

Hi,

I’m using Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon with kernel 6.8.0-58-generic and BIOS version 3.05. I followed the instructions from here (DRI_PRIME1 detection):

  • Steam was successfully installed from the official deb-package.
  • I installed a game and added the launch option but the dGPU checking tool showed that the discrete graphics were not used while the game was running.

I tried both launch options, none work:
DRI_PRIME=1 %command%
or
DRI_PRIME=1 DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="AMD Radeon RX 7700S (RADV NAVI33)" %command%

What can I do to fix this and make Steam use the dGPU?

The output of vulkaninfo:
