NVIDIA Optimus for Linux



Have you heard about NVIDIA Optimus technology? Technology to allow laptops with Intel chips and NVIDIA graphics cards to Exchange automatically as needed. If you need a process of data processing with high graphic, then the system will automatically work with by using NVIDIA graphics cards. If you just need an easy computing activities, the system will, however, use a graphics chip from Intel alone. The advantages of this technology is the survival of the notebook, which can only survive by using batteries, will be longer. Do you want to know more about the technology? Read our previous article "NVIDIA Optimus review: life be more easily".



What are the weaknesses of this NVIDIA Optimus technology? Technology may not run on operating systems other than Windows. However, it is about to change. There are some developers who are currently trying to run the technology on the Linux operating system! The developers are currently working on Bumblebee, an open source, which would realize the dream of notebook users with Linux operating system. The developers are examined to nvidia optimus work Ubuntu, in Debian, OpenSUSE, Fedoraand Arch linux. For the future, will list added back by these developers. Such information that we collect through liliputing.com.



This information is enough to bring fresh air for users of laptops with Linux operating system, because they can choose to Intel or use NVIDIA graphics cards. Much remains to be repaired, because Bumblebee is still not complete as Optimus, such as switch graphics automatically, even has a list of games, and any application that can use nvidia gpu. In our opinion, only a matter of time until finally ' Bumblebee ', however, be as strong as Optimus.
