Computer Generally Suffers Under Linux. Likely a Hybrid Graphics Issue
Laptop Model: Thinkpad P16V Gen 1
CPU/Integrated Graphics: AMD Ryzen Pro 7 w/ Radeon 780M Graphics
DGPU: Nvidia RTX A1000
Distro: Bazzite 41
Desktop Environment: KDE
At this point I have been on the Linux Grind for several months now. I have tried Fedora, Pop OS, Pika, Nobara, Ubuntu, Mint and probably even a few I can't remember right now. Regardless of how customized or optimized the OS is out of the box this laptop has always suffered from rainbowy graphical glitches, and wildly swingy performance between distros that never seems to make any sense. I have tried Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and Arch based OS-es and they've all suffered from some kind of general incompatability with my DGPU that renders games varying levels of playable to unplayable and I can't figure out any kind of pattern or fixes. Right now in my system info it lists only the integrated graphics and I'm beginning to think this might have something to do with the computer never properly using the DGPU, even though it's set to Hybrid in the SUPERGFX plasmoid. I am desperate for any kind of advice that will make this thing work properly. Please if anyone can help I dread the day I'm forced to return to windows, because If something doesn't change that day is close at hand.
