I didn’t have any luck with PRIME. On my work laptop, I want to use Intel graphics when using the laptop screen, and Nvidia only when plugged in to external monitors. Couldn’t get it working properly at all - the external monitors only work properly when hybrid graphics is disabled in the BIOS.
The best thing I ever did was configure prime offloading so basically everything but games runs on my integrated graphics.
Still borked my graphics a few times setting that up, but I’m on nixos so it wasn’t a big deal.

Yeah, I’ve only ever heard bad luck when it comes to prime and laptops. Usually, like you mentioned, due to limitations imposed in the BIOS.
