The only thing that keeps me away from Solus is the fact that I cant use my nvidia card. I have a hybrid laptop that is amd/nvidia. Does solus have the patches in the xorg yet or are they set on waiting until 1.21. If someone does have a working configuration could you share it so that I know what the xorg.conf.d looks like. That way I can tweak it to match amd/nvidia. Nvidia-optimus-manager is configured for intel not amd. My options are very limited on using any linux system. My current choice is pretty much arch based distros or arch itself.
Status of prime render offload
swagglepuff We are waiting on the next Xorg release.
DataDrake How long till xorg updates are applied. They have released 1.20.7 which is the release that contains the fixes for prime render offload.
swagglepuff It came out during the 4.1 release window and would have been too disruptive a change at that point, so we held it back until after. This current week was spent mostly on kernel 5.5 and python 3.7, which took up most of our time and had been queued up longer. We deferred sync this week to get in ALSA and a few other things that also got put on hold for 4.1, so I wouldn't expect it until two weeks from today at the earliest. Bigger stack upgrades like this take awhile, so please be patient.
DataDrake I am just excited that its coming!!!!!! I have been waiting since I got this pesky laptop in june 2019. I will gladly wait a few more weeks. I didn't realize 4.1 had launched, currently burning iso for my other linux machine to test over there!
swagglepuff And many people have been waiting for as long as I've been on the project (2016) for Optimus to get an official working solution. Trust me, we know.
I tried this manually via modifying one of the xorg.conf.d files a month later and it does kinda work, though it is a bit buggy in terms of how KDE is handling things and is nowhere nearly as smooth as it is on Void Linux.

DataDrake does that xorg.conf.d set look right? All I did was modify the 00-ldm.conf file to add in the ability to use the prime offload and thus also make the default gpu the intel one.
RoundDuckKira Hi.
Can you drop your settings here?
Because i tried modify .conf files and it's doesn't work for me.

This is my configuration and works fine for me, I edited the file 00-ldm.conf under /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d as said on @RoundDuckKira comment, don't pay attention to the graphics card model as it is generated automatically when installing drivers.
