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

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.
