Call for Testing: Steam snap for arm64

@anotherdayu could you please launch steam from a terminal, then send me the snippet of the output of the section right after “Running query: 1 - GpuTopology”?

It should look something like this:

Running query: 1 - GpuTopology
Response: gpu_topology {
  gpus {
    id: 1
    name: "NVIDIA Tegra NVIDIA GB10"
    vram_size_bytes: 1610612736
    driver_id: k_EGpuDriverId_NvidiaProprietary
    driver_version_major: 580
    driver_version_minor: 95
    driver_version_patch: 5
    luid: 0
  }
}

it may also contain an “llvmpipe” entry in the list.

Could you also send me your nvidia-smi command output, and also a snapshot of the output of nvtop while running the poorly performing game?

@anotherdayu also, if you enable thunking using these steps (and then closing/re-launching steam), you may see improved performance on the Spark devices. Let me know if that helps, or if it causes any additional instability.

Can something be done to improve time it takes for the Steam snap to load after click? I have a high spec system running 26.04 and the load time for Steam is almost a full minute.

@redwoodsec This is something we are investigating, but I do not have an ETA for it at this time.
