tuxedo-control-center VS optimus-manager

> With the TUXEDO Control Center you are able to control the performance and the behavior of the fans by yourself.

I remember seeing this project years ago when I tried to reverse engineer my own laptop's fan control functions.

https://github.com/tuxedocomputers/tuxedo-control-center

I actually tried to make it work on my laptop back then. Didn't succeed unfortunately.

I'd really enjoy reading about how they figured out the power management and fan control stuff. I couldn't figure it out.

Take a look at this issue and the links form this comment if you want to read more about it.

I've been trying to get TCC to work on my InfinityBook since I got it. Even when I choose "stationary use," the computer continues to charge to 100%. This issue is still unresolved and has been raised here: https://github.com/tuxedocomputers/tuxedo-control-center/issues/268

i did but that didn't work but I did fixed it with reinstalling tuxedo control center it had to do with missing tuxedo-keyboard driver. Link

Depend on your laptop, I can change the fan speed with this https://github.com/tuxedocomputers/tuxedo-control-center

I don't know about a live version of Tuxedo_OS, but see if you can install the Tuxedo Control Center. It lets you customize the fan settings, set CPU limits, and default brightness. I have a profile that's completely silent on mine.

https://github.com/tuxedocomputers/tuxedo-control-center - Adds a control center-style app to Linux. Mostly here for tuxedo_io, which aids in energy management I think (I haven't really tested this) Also adds kernel level support for the keyboard and lightbar.

Read: NVIDIA Optimus AND optimus-manager documentation thoroughly.

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).

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).

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.

-Refer to this: https://github.com/Askannz/optimus-manager for help with other display managers or issues

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.

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!
