Ok, my main Windows Laptop is both Intel and nVidia - I use Windows on that.
My Main Linux Laptop is an ASUS RoG and only had nVidia on that so no worries.
Now, last week, I bought another Laptop and its currently got Windows on it, but I fancy piddling about with Linux on it cos its a fairly powerful machine.
The snag is, that this too has both Intel and nVidia Graphics.
So, before I got destroying the Windows install, what is the thing with dual graphics on this under linux? Sorry, using the term Dual Graphics is wrong... But when I do basic Apps and Destop stuff, it uses Intel, and then switches to nVidia for the more demanding 3D games etc... Although this has Intel 630 GFX its not that shabby for most basic games, but the nVidia is obviously vastly better.
Can it work like that with switching over to nVidia, or not? I was just talking to a lad earlier on who says it wont do it, but I have simply never tried it.
Thoughts?
