Wait, how is "it won't destroy your battery life" somehow supported by "you need to turn off the card when booting linux". It sounds like you're saying it will destroy the battery life if it's not turned off. Did I misread that?
- kart23 7y agoSorry, I should have been more clear. Do you have a reason to use the graphics card on battery in Linux? Most people don't, so turning it off makes sense. You didn't misread it.
- lars_francke 7y agoThe problem is that on the T490 you can't turn it off. It never enters power saving states on Linux and there's no UEFI option to disable it. There's plenty of threads on the Lenovo forums about this.
