[Solved]How to force Minecraft (or any app) use the GPU in my Fedora Desktop?

[CataclysmicGentleman]

I dont understand why it "just works" but it did, i didnt even have to put in the extra line of code @f33dm3bits provided (ironically it forced the PC to use the i5 8th gen graphics which made it run at 5 FPS.) Anyways basically: using MultiMC it just works.. i didnt have to do anything special.... i dont understand this... but thank you.

IN SHORT: My question was answered. Thanks guys

With the dark theme, black text is impossible to read.

My bad, didn't check Dark theme, don't use it.

I don't play Minecraft but how did you launch it before if you are now launching it using MultiMC?

There is one more argument you can try:

I am unsure as to why before it refused to work, and now it does... I was using the MC launcher before, and now I am using MultiMC so maybe that has something to do with it also.

The MultiMC launcher probably has more features that assist with functionality than the MC launcher did.

MultiMC

multimc.org

There's more than one launcher to choose from:

MC-Launcher – Minecraft custom launchers

mc-launcher.com

yes I think that is the reason it works now. MultiMC was made with linux in mind.
