I don't know what to do. It gets super hot and uncomfortable to type. I already can't use it on my lap because I would literally burn my thighs. It also gets super loud (fan) if I try to add a game to the mix and everything starts stuttering till I just shut it down.

      It seems like nvidia-prime is only an Ubuntu thing (I'm running Fedora). I looked around online for more information, it seemed like there is a thing called nvidia-prime for Fedora , but it's used to make your computer run the nvidia gpu all the time. Should I go ahead and do that?

        oof

        i'm just an ubuntu normie, never used any other distros

        you could check out this page for something similar to what you found

        and to just interject my personal opinion: i run discrete gpu all the time as i'm too lazy to figure out how to get it to switch. keeps things simple and afaik the card won't catch on fire because of it so :shrug-outta-hecks:
