I’m reading again everything to see for something that could help, it’s look like optimus could be a solution, thanks
Optimus gets complex quick. You’ll be reading pci bus ids before you know it. Keep the wiki open, go slowly; you got this :)
Indeed, since it’s a laptop. It uses the iGPU for battery saving graphics and the Nvidia dGPU for performance. That’s hybrid graphics / optimus.
That said, Nvidia is a pain. I always recommend distrohopping until you land on a distro that mostly works for your use case and go from there.
