Linux gaming on laptops in GENERAL can still be tricky
Source: have both optimus and advantage laptops.
AMD mobile graphics tend to sometimes have less hiccups, but for the most part you are still going to have to tell the program to use the dGPU.
I don't mind telling the game to use a dedicated graphics card and I don't mind tinkering in general, but I want the graphics driver to work as expected. For example my Nvidia optimus setup doesn't always play nice with the external monitor and I'm currently dealing an issue where an nvidia specific setting is needed to get some games working, but that same setting causes issues in other games.
