Hmm, what you mean with 'kinda'?
Bumblebee is almost dead project — no changes for 5 years in master branch. It has a lot of unfixed bugs, needs kernel parameters (my laptop hangs without them [1]). And seriously no hope for Vulkan support [2]. So aside from that it's working.
and the only issue is that it doesn't automatically compile the kernel modules when a new kernel is installed, so I need to run dkms manually. No problems with games or stuff like google earth.
That's easily solved but enabling dkms at start using YaST or systemctl. But I don't like that behaviour: waiting for compiling at system boot while I don't need NVidia GPU is irritating. I've just added systemctl start/stop dkms to sudoers to run NOPASSWD.
Hmm, that may be the difference - I never felt the urge to run a full X session on the card (didn't even know nvidia-xrun), does that offer advantages?
No real advantages for me in OpenGL, some people says it has superior performance, but I haven't noticed that. Maybe there is some, but not worth other problems. But Bumblebee has no Vulkan support (and I doubtful it would) so the only way is to run full X session with valid paths — nvidia/suse-prime or nvidia-xrun. First way needs to remove Bumblebee and I didn't like that much, so I'm trying to make nvidia-xrun works. But so far I've managed to run only vulkaninfo with NVidia GPU. And every real apps (e.g. tests [3], [4] or Rise of the Tomb Raider) crash, while working fine on Intel GPU (well RotTR is really slow, but runs).
