Any issues with the GPU drivers switching between integrated and discrete? That’s what I was having issues with on my last laptop, didn’t really have too much else as a problem, and why I often hesitate to recommend people with laptops running Nvidia graphics to switch too quickly for that reason.
Not that I’ve noticed. It’s a 1060 vs an old Intel integrated, so I’d hope I’d immediately notice a game running like sludge, although I’ve been staying away from truly demanding ones on it.
Only thing that’s annoying is the USB4 dock crashes the laptop if I unplug it, but my limited research on that is pointing at a Wayland bug, something about a display’s frame buffer disappearing.
Huh, interesting. My old laptop was on x (i3wm), so I mostly had issues with that, and how the GPU would have to spin up if any of the usb c ports were being used, as they ran through the GPU (stupid design). Thankfully I don’t really have to worry about Nvidia anymore, new laptop (which is actually older) only has Intel integrated (specifically wanted to get away from Nvidia) and the desktop has an AMD gpu.
