Works fine for me? (opensuse tumbleweed)
Didn't take much effort, hybrid mode got implemented automatically and then I just manually added a widget for quick switching between only integrated graphics, hybrid mode and only nvidia (basically never using that one, just either integrated or hybrid)
That's nice! I'm glad it glad it worked so well for you. That's the thing about configuration, sometimes it works without much effort!
I wish everyone shared your experience, but I guess it's a YMMV kind of thing, right?
I'm generally very happy with opensuse tumbleweed, so far the best desktop distros I've tried. Very polished and user friendly.
LOL isn't that the truth. I wanted my desktop to not bother chugging watts through my 3090 and generating excess heat when barely KDE Plasma and a browser is running, but trying to set up GPU offload just left me with a blank terminal screen.
Thank God for the geniuses who implemented Snapper rollbacks in OpenSUSE! Otherwise, the Nvidia drivers in the repos work fine and I'm scared to touch them...
Is the power consumption really that much more? I guess there is a significant difference but it might still not cost much.
In a desktop you use the powerful GPU all the time.
In my use case the laptop is always attached to a charger.
