System 76 claims to offer an aluminum alloy laptop with Nvidia and Linux

but the quality is reportedly bad (flaky hardware, too-fast power drain, reflash bios to toggle discrete graphics (!), slow support) https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/review-system76-oryx-pr...

Yep. Mine is in the System 76 repair shop right now for the third time. Which is why I'm using my Matebook Windows laptop for dev. Extremely unsatisfied with Oryx Pro materials and build quality. Oh it's back for the third time because when they replaced the top case last time, they installed a defective touch pad. Never again.

That model is a rebadge of the Clevo P960(16")/P970(17").

Really? My understanding was that the RTX series of GPUs support toggling discrete graphics on the fly if you use beta/dev versions of the drivers and X. Even if you don't, the worst case scenario should be having to reboot to enable or disable your graphics card, right?

If so, that's a step backwards - on my MX150 system, both nouveau and the proprietary driver can turn the card off (indeed, that's about all nouveau can do, and it does it by default).

That Oryx model in the link uses a GTX 1070
