Switchable graphics support is now a new self-contained change proposed today, July 7, 2016, for the upcoming Fedora 25 operating system, which will be released later this year around the date of November 8. The Fedora developers are already offering some improvements to switchable graphics support on Fedora 24, thanks to the new Linux 4.6 kernel series. The goal for the Fedora 25 is for everyone to use the switchable graphics implementation without it draining the battery to making the laptop hot.
