It is indeed Optimus. Out of the box, Fedora doesn't support switching
as Windows does. There are some experimental support for this
<http://bumblebee-project.org/>, but it's not very active. So, failing
that, you can switch in the BIOS setup screen. In my case, since I'm
using an external monitor, I needed to set it to Nvidia, because the
Intel GPU is only attached to the laptop's built-in screen.
