Despite the stupid branding "Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming" I don't care about the "Gaming" part. I am interested in getting the latest GCC/clang, MESA mostly, eventually Vulkan support. I am fine with using just the Intel drivers.
I use an external monitor via HDMI port. At least on Windows rendering for the external monitor appears to happen on the NVIDIA GPU. If something is rendered on the laptop display - HD630 is busy, when rendered on the external monitor - NVIDIA GPU.

I tried the proprietary driver before I couldn't get it to work at all. If I recall correctly the system would freeze and I couldn't get the external monitor to work properly.
My priorities are a low power, low noise productive system.
