I want to buy used laptop with rx6600m and r7 5800h
Does switch between discrete gpu and apu work on linux for amd gpus?
Maybe there are some pitfalls?

    On Linux (Mesa), this feature is known as PRIME.

    OH THAT’S WHY IT’S CALLED OPTIMUS

      I think it’s the other way around. NVIDIA’s marketing name for render offloading (muxless) GPU laptops is NVIDIA Optimus so when the Mesa people were creating the open source version they called it PRIME.
