    professional tip for those who decided to rock Debian on a laptop with two GPU’s.

    Envycontrol will take the headache away from manually configuring your xorg & xrandr, trust me, compared to the Debian documentation this will save you hours of your life.

      …who… IN THE FUCK!!! Reads Debian docs?

      Arch are the true Linux docs, maybe Gentoo docs, worst case Ubuntu forums.

      Run a ton of Debian, only time I check their docs is when I’m trying to remember what the current stable release is called.

      Can it force apps to use iGPU when dGPU is on? It’s one of the things I miss from windows and couldn’t figure out on linux

        It has this hybrid option, that’s about it from what I know.

        Set graphics mode to hybrid and enable fine-grained power control:

        sudo envycontrol -s hybrid --rtd3
        

        Edit: the —rtd3 flag seems to have different levels of power management.

        --rtd3 [VALUE]        Setup PCI-Express Runtime D3 (RTD3) Power Management on Hybrid mode. Available choices: 0, 1, 2, 3. Default if specified: 2
