Need help with graphics switching on Arch
Link for documentation for optimus-switch on EndeavourOS which has links to the optimus-switch pages on github for KDE, GNOME, and LightDM

Fedora Equivalent of Nvidia Optimus Switch
The Endeavor documentation points to github repository for an optimus switch for the gnome login screen (gdm), which would work because Fedora Workstation uses that, but it doesn't look like it's been updated in a couple of years, which isn't super promising, tbh.

Using only NVIDIA
Maybe this can help.

I want to disable my discrete GPU.
Have you tried supergfxctl or asusctl?
-
I took 8 hours to install it :)
i will recommend https://gitlab.com/asus-linux/supergfxctl you can compile from source your dowloaded from a gentoo overlay. This is plug and play basically work really well on my laptop

Getting HDMI output to work with switchable graphics with an integrated AMD GPU and discrete Nvidia GPU on Arch Linux (i.e. reverse PRIME) - Has anyone had success with this?
I use supergfxctl (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/supergfxctl) to do that. When I switch the mode to hybrid and log out of my DE and log back in the hdmi output will work. Use the aur to install and then go to the gitlab repo to know you to setup (https://gitlab.com/asus-linux/supergfxctl) if you go to the legion discord I can help you on the Linux text channel.

New Gaming beast! Fedora will suit it well?
Have the Asus Zephyrus g14 2020 model with the 3060 in it, works great. Just install NVIDIA proprietary drivers on it. Also, check out this GitLab repo for how to switch between your dedicated and integrated graphics. There is also an extension that acts as a frontend.

Fedora Switchable Laptop Graphics
I'd probably rather recommend https://gitlab.com/asus-linux/supergfxctl since it doesn't require reboots when switching between graphics modes.

My first kernel panic!
My problem lied with the GPU configuration in my system. my laptop has an intel iGPU and a T1200 Quadro Nvidia card. Nvidia uses their Optium technology by routing the descrete GPU output through the iGPU and then to the display. I could not get my dGPU to turn on since it wasn´t being detected. anyway. all resolved thanks to supergfxctl
What are some alternatives?
When comparing optimus-switch-gdm and supergfxctl you can also consider the following projects:
optimus-manager - A Linux program to handle GPU switching on Optimus laptops.
asusctl-gex
optimus-switch-sddm - easy installer for optimus-switch for SDDM, sets up nvidia PRIME and also allows for easy switching between intel/nvidia (prime mode) and intel only mode where nvidia gpu is powered down and no longer visible. modes are switched with "sudo set-intel.sh" or "sudo set-nvidia.sh" .
System76 Power Management - System76 Power Management
envycontrol - Easy GPU switching for Nvidia Optimus laptops under Linux
asusctl - Daemon and tools to control your ASUS ROG laptop. Supersedes rog-core.
asusctl
supergfxctl-plasmoid
rogauracore - RGB keyboard control for Asus ROG laptops
GPU_profile_selector - A simple gnome shell extension which provides a simple way to switch between GPU profiles on Nvidia Optimus systems (i.e laptops with Intel + Nvidia or AMD + Nvidia configurations) in a few clicks. In particular this extension is a graphic interface for envycontrol program.
