"Nvidia's already working to ensure their proprietary drivers work as well on Linux as Windows and probably considers maintaining one codebase to be far less of a headache."

LOL!

Try getting Optimus working on laptop under Linux. I have a Nvidia video card in my Dell that's basically a paperweight, unless I run Windows.

It's a pain, but at least there's bumblebee. Still gobbles power though...

I wholeheartedly concur. The only piece of kit I had trouble with on a Thinkpad was the Nvidia card, and bumblebee helped a lot here. I haven't really put it to the test though.

I'm in the exact same situation with my Asus laptop.
