From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've been using prime run for years, optimus manager before that. Has the nvidia open source stuff lead to anything on this front?

What do you need more than prime run (which is only a few env vars) ?

I'm tired of remembering to add the command, not a big deal and I've been itching to try a new distro.

Envycontrol is simple and works well.

I know Pop_OS! has some excellent Optimus controls built into their distro. I haven't used NVidia in a while, though, since I went all AMD for better driver support.
