Tried LMDE and bazzite nvidia, but I just could not for the life of me get Optimus gpu switching on my 7640u laptop from lenovo to play nice.

I am going all AMD for my next desktop, but I am frustrated and tired with torvalds-nvidia

For 90% of use, the OS is just a bootloader for Firefox. I am however enough of a gamer-gulag that not being able to use the dGPU is a dealbreaker. I had a Tumbleweed desktop for just under three years, and troubleshooting that springboarded me into an IT infra career, so I am grateful.

Yeah, that’d be enough to make me give it up too. I do not blame you.
