I’m running Fedora 27 on a ThinkPad T530 with the NVIDIA Optimus enabled and my machine is running extremely hot after a while. The whole system starts to lag and the CPUs get throttled.
I guess this is related to the driver (nouveau) that is used for the NVIDIA card?
Is this a common problem? Would another driver help? Is there actually a linux driver from NVIDIA for this graphic card?
