Lenovo Dual GPU Laptop on Linux

ggnoredo@lemm.ee to Linux@lemmy.ml – 29 points –

Hi,

I want to buy a laptop for working and very light gaming on to go. I'm currently looking for Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 with AMD CPU and NVIDIA GPU. I'm going to use Fedora or Arch Linux with i3wm. The problem is I'm not sure if dual gpu setup is going to work or not. All i want to use igpu for all tasks until more power needed, then it needs to switch automatically to dgpu

Is this possible if so is there any good guide about it?

Thanks

I have the intel/nvidia 2080q on my lenovo 17inch legion. Nvidia works on my Nixos with wayland/hyprland. Using both as well to save batter just have to activate nvidia prime with a command.

Off topic a bit, but how is the Nvidia + Wayland experience?

Are the horror stories true? Do you use multiple monitors?
