Hello, I'm just starting with Linux and picked Fedora as my first distro. I'm trying to run games smoothly and noticed my laptop has an Nvidia Optimus chip. From what I understand, this feature doesn't work well with Linux because of compatibility issues. Essentially, I need to decide between using Bumblebee or Nouveau Prime/Optimus, or maybe not needing it at all. Thanks for your help!

Yes, you can use Bumblebee and/or Nouveau Prime in Wine. To do this, install them via Wine and launch your games from within the Wine environment. This allows you to run applications that might not be natively supported on your system.

You must add the official Nvidia proprietary driver.
