gollark: I have no idea why but I never encountered any backlight issues, using the normal Intel iGPU backlight stuff works perfectly.
gollark: I just bought a used laptop, which is both cheaper and does not technically support Nvidia.
gollark: Yes, it's Nvidia's fault, but that doesn't make it work better.
gollark: Sure, but Nouveau doesn't have working power management or video decode acceleration and such.
gollark: I use PRIME, as documented on the Arch wiki somewhere; you can instruct the dedicated GPU to render certain programs and send them to the integrated GPU.
