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.

From our other reply you should be fine, this is a prime laptop so it will use the CPU for everything unless you specify different z that's by intent to preserve power since Nvidia cards consume lots of it and otherwise your battery would last an hour or so, windows does the same, the difference is that Windows tries to guess which apps need it and on Linux you have to be specific about it.
Ty!
Quick test you can run to confirm this is
lspci | grep nvidiaandlspci | grep nouveauone of them will display something and the other nothing (hopefully),nvidiais the name of the properietary driver,nouveauis the open source one.
