i feel like desktop nvidia cards are ok, laptop nvidia cards are a nightmare because of the weird igpu/dgpu shit under the hood

That's why I chose a laptop without iGPU, because only one GPU means less hassle.

Guess what: the Nvidia drivers aren't setup for laptop dGPUs without iGPU. It's horrible, even worse than my last laptop with two GPUs.

And the battery life is ridiculous.
