It’s mostly when you’re trying to optimize for power on a non standard distro. By default, they’re kinda a power hog but you can sorta turn off the gpu when not in use, it’s just fininky because Nvidia doesn’t want open source drivers that can go that low level. Thankfully don’t have to worry about it anymore after getting a non-Nvidia laptop for my latest daily.
