The advanced options window of Kate

SUMMARY
Based on comments in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=392523 & https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=444709, I should be able to right click an application in the menu, choose edit application, go to advanced settings and set it to run on my secondary GPU. I am not seeing that option.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Click menu
2. Right click on an application in Favorites, choose Edit Application
3. Go to advanced tab

OBSERVED RESULT
No "run on dedicated GPU" option.

EXPECTED RESULT
There would be an option to mark this application as run on dedicated GPU.

(available in About System)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Supposedly this was a thing that's available very recently based on the comment from bug 444709:
 Nicolas Fella 2021-10-31 13:24:02 UTC

There is a way to request the DGPU being used: Right-click on an application, "Edit Application...", go to 'Application' tab, go to "Advanced options", check "Run using dedicated graphics card". 

See a screenshot of me editing Kate, and opening the advanced options.

Sounds like your other GPU isn't being detected or something.

Is there anything else you need, or should this be filed as a separate bug? Thanks
