From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm reading again everything to see for something that could help, it's look like optimus could be a solution, thanks
Optimus gets complex quick. You’ll be reading pci bus ids before you know it. Keep the wiki open, go slowly; you got this :)
Indeed, since it's a laptop. It uses the iGPU for battery saving graphics and the Nvidia dGPU for performance. That's hybrid graphics / optimus.
That said, Nvidia is a pain. I always recommend distrohopping until you land on a distro that mostly works for your use case and go from there.
