He is in a pickle. He could solve his problems by using a Mac. Designed from the ground up in a uniform fashion instead of bolted on components from different vendors. Excellent sleep/wake support, none of this nonsense of switching graphics cards....but he is a game developer and so he is married to this platform called PC/Windows that is composed of competing interests, none of which care about the total user experience. I guess his only solution is to shout into the wind on Twitter and hope something will change (it wont).

My Linux machine only does GPU switching when I ask it to.

It's very much another Windows issue.

I'm sure it does...he also did hint that he is open to Linux...but i'm also sure there are enough problems with Linux that will keep him coming back to Twitter for years.

Like I mentioned, he is in a pickle.

I didn't see anything in that Tweet about being open to Linux.

But regardless, he sounds a bit like Tim Sweeney. Uses shitty tools and would rather complain than just stop using them.

In the thread he says there is zero chance of switching to Mac and non-zero of Linux.

Oh sorry my bad, it was in a subsequent tweet response to his original tweet: https://twitter.com/Jonathan_Blow/status/1807868275042255078

Regarding the tools, you seem to be missing my point, he explained why he is in a pickle: He develops games...Windows is the premier gaming platform whether he likes it or not...hence he needs to develop on Windows.

He doesn't need to develop on a laptop with two GPUs.

It's a personal choice to use terrible tools. Currently he is picking two bad choices.
