FWIW, most of the untrusted code execution "platforms" these days use Docker with some hardening (dropped capabilities, syscall filtering, readonly fs etc). Eg. Repl.it and Rust Playground.

Give Pop_OS[1] a shot, it lets you switch between iGPU and dGPU.

Been using it on my Thinkpad P1 works well for my workflow, I almost always use the iGPU and for tasks that need dGPU

I am usually plugged into power. I get good battery life this way.

But I agree, MX250 option isn't worth it for the amount of GPU power it gives and the complications it brings under Linux.

I hope the next generation fixes this and/or we finally get good nvidia drivers.

GPU offloading is being worked on by nvidia[2] so there is indeed hope.
