Distro for Hybrid graphics (Nvidia+intel integrated)?

Hello there!

I have decided to move to Linux recently. So far I've installed Manjaro but I've had plenty of problems when it comes to use hybrid graphics. I installed Optimus Manager, but for some reason, my fans accelerated a lot when on Nvidia exclusive use.

I could not come up with a solution for this, maybe an arch based distro is too much for me atm.

​

Have any of you a distro with hybrid graphics working? Which one would you recommend?

Dual Boot Linux Mint and Windows

Hey everyone! I have a question about dual booting with running Linux Mint and Windows 10. I'm new to linux so I had a friend install it and it worked fine and still does. When I first had the dual boot when it turned on it would say Linux Mint as an option and then a few other options below and the last one being Windows option as the OS I wanted to use. Well now for some reason it says "Ubuntu" instead of "Linux mint" and it also removed my Update Manager. I was just curious if anyone has had this happen or know what happened?

Struggling to get openvpn client service to start at bootup.

I'm attempting to configure an openvpn client on a raspberry pi 3 b+. The raspberry pi is running CentOS 7 armhfp.

I installed openvpn from the EPEL repository for armhfp platforms. I've placed my config and associated keys and auth file in /etc/openvpn

[root@raspberrypi openvpn]# ll
total 24
drwxr-x---. 2 root openvpn 4096 Jan 1 1970 client
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 2186 Jan 25 22:17 mullvad_ca.crt
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 985 Jan 1 1970 mullvad_us.conf
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 19 Jan 25 22:17 mullvad_userpass.txt

-rwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 1301 Jan 25 22:17 update-resolv-conf
[root@raspberrypi openvpn]#

I'm attempting to start the service with the command: systemctl start openvpn-client@mullvad\_us

When I do it fails with the following status:

[root@raspberrypi openvpn]# systemctl status openvpn-client@mullvad_us -l
● openvpn-client@mullvad_us.service - OpenVPN tunnel for mullvad_us

Jan 26 01:17:19 raspberrypi systemd[1]: openvpn-client@mullvad_us.service failed.

It appears to be failing to read my mullvad\_us.conf file. I've given it full 777 permissions as well as tried to change its ownership to openvpn:openvpn. I've also disabled selinux just in case that's the problem. I've also moved the files into /etc/openvpn/client with no success as well.

If I start openvpn from the command line it works fine. I'll run the command: "nohup openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/mullvad\_us.conf &" and the tunnel builds and forms correctly.

I just can't get it to come up automatically at bootup. I'm planning to run this in a headless manner and don't want to have to ssh into the device each time I power it on just to get the vpn tunnel up.

I've seen articles online saying to edit the file at /etc/default/openvpn but that file doesn't exist for some reason and I can't help but think it's due to the flavor of CentOS that I'm running. At this point I'm pretty stumped. Any help would be hugely appreciated.
