The latest episode of the Fedora Podcast (going live in about half an hour), the team will be talking with the folks from Slimbook about the new Fedora Slimbook laptop, it's a great chance to clear any doubts about it.

A lot better but still not as good as AMD

I guess they expect people to use the Intel iGPU with 'the latest of GNOME Desktop' 🙃

I mean, on any laptop with hybrid graphics the DE should use the iGPU to render everything unless the app is clearly defined to use the dedicated GPU, so I don't get your point

True, that's a very good point, I would still hope that interop between the two isn't an issue under a Wayland session.

I've been using a Intel + NVIDIA laptop on Wayland since day 1 and I can confidently say that, except for power management (cries in Pascal) it's pretty much a perfect experience, as you get the best of both hardware. The system runs on the Intel iGPU and benefits from Mesa while gaming, streaming and compute benefit from the power the NVIDIA card brings.

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.
