Linux on lenovo legion 5 pro
You're probably looking for envycontrol ... it will allow you to switch back and forth between integrated/hybrid/dedicated-only graphics as needed. I used this on my 2023 Legion Slim 5 and it made a huge difference in power consumption. Now I only enable dedicated if I need it for something specific, which is rare for me. Computer generally sips between 16w-20w doing basic browsing tasks, with no other optimizations performed (this is on Fedora Silverblue)

Got terrible battery life on Linux Laptops? I got ya! (Targeted at Nvidia Users but should work for most people)
Install EnvyControl, which is a useful package that can offload applications to the integrated GPU and turn off the dedicated Nvidia GPU. This will add a few hours at least to your battery life. Distro-specific instructions: https://github.com/bayasdev/envycontrol
- Week 5 of issues, today I installed 3 updates gnome-maps, gnome-user-docs and something else, now Fedora doesn’t boot, come on!!!

Ubuntu ---> Fedora. This time I really doing it.
Now, it's much easier to enable the Fusion repository and Envycontrol makes it as easy as Ubuntu to switch GPUs! I also use DisplayLink for additional monitors and there is now a 3rd party rpm for that.
- What distro is the best for this laptop?
- OpenSUSE Tumbleweed + KDE + Wayland + Nvidia
-
switch to integrated gpu
use envycontrol
- Using only NVIDIA

Fuc*ed up my nvidia settings (things zoomed on sddm/i3 + glitches)
I thus played a bit with https://github.com/bayasdev/envycontrol which is listed on the archwiiki, the problem is that now, even when selecting the "nvidia" mode and even when going back to "discret graphics" in the bios I'm encountering bugs I didn't have before, mainly SDDM being really zoomed, i3 borders being HUGE (while the rest is normal, I didn't change my config so it's likely not a DPI problem there), glitches when I first login with polybar duplicating itself and the wallpaper being broken, requiring to refresh i3 to have those 2 things fixes, picom animations are also super glitchy.

Can someone explain Lutris in extreme layman terms cause I can't get my head around it
Lutris is a launcher for applications that run on Linux, that's the most comprehensive answer. It is highly configurable and supports scripting. Probably the most common use is launching non-steam Windows games with Wine and DXVK/VKD3D (I recommend a tool called ProtonUp-Qt for managing versions of this software). However, it can be configured to launch just about anything, including native Linux executables etc. Many popular titles will have scripts that automate the installation and setup, making them plug and play (if the script is good, that is). But everything the script does can be done manually too.

So I tried using WOWS using Ubuntu 22.04 using wine 8.0.1 and it is pausing on logging in and crashing, plz help.
Try installing it through Steam instead of using Wine directly. Mine is currently set to "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool" and GE-Proton7-41, so try installing that one if none of the Proton versions that come with the Steam client works. Installing a custom version of Proton is fairly simple if you know the command line, basically just unpack it into the right folder. But if you prefer graphical tools you can use ProtonUp-Qt instead.

NEED HELP! Assetto Corsa
I'd try that since it's something you haven't tried at least. Check the first comment - all you have to do is install protonUp-Qt and then launch it. Use protonup to install Proton GE 7-55. Then, when you go to steam (might require a restart, don't remember) in the compatibility settings for the game you can set it to the Proton GE version.

Grezzo 2 on Steam Deck?
Bit late but luxtorpeda has gzdoom as an option along with qzdl for launching with mods. You just gotta install protonup-qt from the discover store in desktop mode. A quick YouTube/Google search can show you how but that's the rough gist of it.
