Seeking advice for FreeBSD as a daily driver on an ASUS X580VD
(Intel HD 630 + GTX 1050 Optimus)
Five questions at <https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1r9j67j/advice_for_running_freebsd_as_daily_driver_on_an/> (replies there, if you can – thanks).
The writer's use case and goals:
― web dev stack: Java, Node/React, Python, Go
― occasional virtualization and Linuxulator for Linux-only tooling
― prefer GNOME, but open to recommendations if another DE/DM is more reliable here
― Intel as primary + NVIDIA for on-demand/offload use (if possible).

@grahamperrin can't reply on reddit, but as you know I have a similar setup. It will work, but expect classic Optimus problems : finger crossing Xorg won't be buggy, proprietary often buggy nvidia-driver mandatory, drivers mismatching... But it will probably work, assuming the user knows these caveats and how to solve them...
