Won’t bother asking for Laptop/Optimus support

• crest 3y ago
  Only school Optimus with a MUX chip used to work just fine on my T420. For a long time the newer Optimus streaming through the (Intel) iGPU wasn't supported transparently, but you could use indirect OpenGL using environment variables. I once used this for an application that required OpenGL extensions lacking in the open source Intel driver at the time. It's annoying and fragile. If you can let go of the battery runtime always running the dedicated (Nvidia) GPU is preferable.

    It really sucks to be running everything from the command line with prime-run. Plus I’ve had issues with many steam games giving me “3d device” errors and visual glitches. So far I’ve found Optimus-manager to run the best with forces nvidia mode

  Been using Ryzen + Nvidia on KDA plasma for the past few months and it works quite good; generally, it works better on X.org, tough Wayland isn't that far behind either.
