about once a decade i get this morbid curiosity to install some relatively vanilla linux distro on my windows desktop (as opposed to WSL or remote AWS boxes, where i normally encounter it). i feel it rising again… should i cave… or will i accidentally reformat my hdd/waste days

So i researched this to confirm. These are two separate projects AMDGPU for amd started first and AMD eventually switched official support to it. Seems ok but not great. Nouveau is the one for nvidia, they are truly going from the ground up as Nvidia doesn't like them, seems ok.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Last week I installed Linux on a NVIDIA Turing Optimus laptop and the official driver worked out of the box, including switching between i/dGPU and dynamic power management. Executing a program that uses CUDA turns the dGPU on and just works. I was pleasantly surprised!

Note that I have an older NVIDIA laptop that had to use stuff like Bumblebee and optimus-manager, so I understand your frustration! Also, I don't use Ubuntu (precisely due to past instability), so there's that... Relevant NVIDIA docs: https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/435.17/README/primerenderoffload.html …
