                          I am relatively new to Linux. I have installed Endeavour OS on my laptop (an HP Victus 16), and noticed underwhelming performance on apps like waydroid. It seems like linux is only detecting the iGPU in my system. When I run
 
    xrandr --listproviders
 
it gives me the output

    Providers: number : 0** ! 

Even going to Settings > About shows the graphics card as "AMD Renoir" only.

Running 

    lspci

shows the dGPU connected as:

    Display controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Navi 14 [Radeon RX 5500/5500M / Pro 5500M] (rev c1)**

but it seems like it doesn't work anywhere else?

Configuration of my laptop if it matters:

    AMD Ryzen 5600h
    16 GB RAM
    AMD RX 5500M graphics
    
And the OS details:

    Endeavour OS Linux x86_64
    Kernel: 5.17.0-247-tkg-pds
