I was trying also run Gnome and KDE with gpu hw acceleration but unfortunately they are having issue with rendering, so at the end I decided to run desktop with software rendering and just run chromium with gpu hw acceleration. Below you can find how to do it.
Hardware used:
Orangepi 5 Pro
120GB USB3.0 SSD
Software used:
Fedora iso cd
https: //alt.fedoraproject.org/alt/
I have used iso named Everything-netinstall
Proxmox
https: //github.com/jiangcuo/Proxmox-Port/wiki/Install-Proxmox-VE-on-Debian-bookworm
Armbian debian minimal image
https: //www.armbian.com/orange-pi-5-pro/
Installation:
1) Create VM + GPU=VirGL GPU(virtio-gl)
2) install fedora + Gnome or KDE desktop
additional steps:
1) Gnome set env to software rendering
sudo nano /usr/share/wayland-sessions/gnome-wayland-software.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Gnome (Wayland, Software Rendering)
Comment=Start Gnome with Software rendering for the desktop enviroment
Exec=env LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 gnome-session
Type=Application
2) Gnome Chromium with gpu
Exec=/usr/bin/env LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=0 chromium-browser %U
1) KDE set env to software rendering
sudo nano /usr/share/wayland-sessions/plasma-wayland-software.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Plasma (Wayland, Software Rendering)
Comment=Start KDE Plasma with software sendering for the desktop environment
Exec=env LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 /usr/bin/startplasma-wayland
Type=Application
2) KDE Chromium with gpu
Exec=/usr/bin/LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=0 chromium-browser %U
Limitations:
Both dekstops are having issue with hw gpu rendering, so desktop is switched to software rendering and only chromium is set to gpu hardware acceleration. Video frames are not falling via gpu, but software rendering taking lot of power from CPUs so videos are good only till 720p.
Hope helps and have fun 🙂
