Is it possible to do double gpu-passthrough with libvirt hooks, where your DE uses your nvidia GPU when you are not using your vm?
Read: NVIDIA Optimus AND optimus-manager documentation thoroughly.

External monitor input feels laggy and slow
Use Nvidia to render everything. You can easily do this with programs such as Optimus Manager or Envycontrol (I recommend the latter if you're on wayland). You can set it so that when you're on charger, laptop boots with the Nvidia (dedicated) mode and when you're on battery it boots with integrated mode (if you do this, read the wiki about Nvidia as you're going to possibly experience nvidia-related issues).

Need suggestions for optimus-manager configuration running in a Ryzen 5 4600H & Nvidia 1650 Laptop(Asus)
I have installed optimus-manager few hours back(I'm in NVIDIA propitiatory). Read this https://github.com/Askannz/optimus-manager/wiki/A-guide--to-power-management-options and came to understand that manual configuration is necessary for turning off the nvidia card completely. Tried : Configuration 1 : dynamic power management inside the NVIDIA driver (Runtime D3 power management) Configuration 4 : acpi_call. But none is completely turning off the NVIDIA card even though I ran optimus-manager --switch integrated (applicable to only config 4).

System won't boot after installing Nvidia drivers
What you meant was optimus-manager program and you should look at https://github.com/Askannz/optimus-manager for instructions with that method of using Nvidia Optimus, but you should also look at instructions for other methods for Nvidia Optimus too, especially PRIME-Render Offload one, because you can find important things for power management at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME#PCI-Express\_Runtime\_D3\_(RTD3)\_Power\_Management , because you have a Turing GPU and Tiger Lake CPU, and method for Nvidia Optimus you mentioned and want to use is best supported with gdm, sddm and lightdm display managers and you may want to look at other Nvidia Optimus methods.

Recommend me a Distro to go back into Linux.
-Refer to this: https://github.com/Askannz/optimus-manager for help with other display managers or issues

Phasmophobia bugs very hard on Steam
Just asking because I wanted to give some advice and it would be different between a desktop and laptop. There are some options to manager graphics through a gui like optimus manager. PopOS also comes with some extensions to manage it out of the box. You can also look at using Lutris for gaming, you can use it to make every game launch with your discrete gpu by default.

Enabling dGPU breaks the system on Nvidia Optimus laptop
Hello, I am a newbie to Intel-nvidia-hybrid laptop. My issue is that I cannot use Nvidia dGPU for my favourite apps. I have tried Optimus Manager and Envycontrol but both of them breaks my system. I am using HP Envy laptop with Nvidia gtx 1650 ti maxq. Thank you!

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!!!

make xorg and i3wm run on dedicated Nvidia card instead of integrated Intel card
Check out this video. https://youtu.be/Pn2iUgW3l6w . It's how I setup my graphics card. You could also use envy control https://github.com/bayasdev/envycontrol.

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.
