Hi everyone,
I had a pretty stable graphics / optimus setup for a while which I have documented here: Sharing experiences with working Nvidia Optimus, HiDPI (4k), Nvidia-Exec, Fractional Scaling on Gnome
However, for a few months optimus has stopped working now. Here is my inxi -G

I use nvidia-exec to turn my gpu on and off (and turn my pascal nvidia gpu on / off without reboot etc), which worked well in the past, but I don’t think my issue is related to it and maybe more to the intel gpu or acpi. Here is the log when I activate my GPU, in the past this didn’t give me errors. If I plug in my external monitor, my system hangs.
