PrefersNonDefaultGPU is currently very broken, see ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux#9940

I agree that it's somewhat broken by design, but removing it would break STK on more systems. Laptops with a dual-GPU setup are much more common than desktops with a dual-GPU setup. Until a better mechanism exists, this should remain.

I disagree, most CPUs these days have a GPU integrated, combined with a full dedicated GPU you run into this issue.

it might also be worth noting that the Fedora maintainer of the stk package has decided to patch the key out to address a bug report

The entire design of this setting is appalling. It's a pick your poison situation...

the right solution to this would be to fix the issue itself instead of trying to remove the key, however my patches have thus far not gone anywhere
