AMD dual graphics question

[CatKiller]

Will Ubuntu then decide itself witch adapter is running when based on the load or wil i need to switch manually? As that process seems to be fairly eeasy to follow.

I've never tried it

You'll need to specify for yourself which applications you want to be using which graphics device.

Also, what about keyboard backlight and Radeon Sync? And RGB mouse and headsets, mouse being the asus mouse and headset from Corsair? Will all of this somehow work but with no config?

No.

The hardware manufacturers can't decide on an RGB specification for their devices, so their solution on Windows is to have you run a bajillion bits of software to control each device. They could do the same on Linux, and it would work, but they haven't bothered to make their widgets available on Linux.

On the reverse-engineering side, no one else has settled on a specification that is compatible with every manufacturer's baubles and that behaves in a sensible way. Some people have done some work that makes the baubles they personally have work.

In all likelihood you won't be able to control any of your RGB things from Linux.

Damn it! And I got so exited after watching this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Co6FePZoNgE
They are talking about two other distros there: Pop!_OS & Manjaro one of them being an Ubuntu clone. Apparently they are ahead of ubuntu on hardware config, would they be viable and less "messy"?

Thanks for the answer, and your effort! And what about Steam? Look here at this videos, it is in English, but there they show what they do for the minutes from the 5th so as not to listen to all the prelude, everything seems to be pulling nicely? Or am I just a noob? There they went Skyrim without native support for Linux and even on good graphics?

Give output of:

glxinfo -B
DRI_PRIME=1 glxinfo -B

If all is well, you can run programs on the discrete GPU using DRI_PRIME as ^above.

DRI_PRIME=1 nameofprogram
