Hi there, I use Gnome for many years and now move to use KDE. I have laptop that comes with hybrid graphic card and now running F29 KDE spin.
$ lspci -vnn | grep '''[030[02]]' 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller [8086:0166] (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GK107M [GeForce GT 640M] [10de:0fd2] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
I plan to use and utilize optimus. Does it work on KDE? Please advice.
It's been a long time since I've set this up, I've been upgrading from F24 to F29 currently without any changes.
tl;dr yes, it works fine with some basic setup. I've used this guide [0], I think, to set it up (it's nothing special really)
It relies on proprietary driver, if that's okay with you; I think Gnome is currently able to work with optimus with nouveau.
I've been using this method for ~2yrs with no issues.

With Nouveau, hybrid graphics should just work without any custom setup. You can use the DRI_PRIME environment variable to force rendering with one or the other card.
