| `glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"` should show an Intel GPU. Running programs with `DRI_PRIME=1` will make them render on your AMD GPU (some things do this automatically). You will get more battery time now as your AMD GPU can be turned off when not needed. | ||

| Currently the Radeon 5600M AMD GPU on MacBookPro16,4 is [not working](https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/) with Linux. As a workaround: | ||
| ### If you are able to edit your kernel command line: | ||
| 1. Edit the kernel command line of this boot and add the `nomodeset` kernel parameter. This will enable you to access your Linux system in safe graphics. | ||
| 2. Follow the instructions [above](#enabling-the-igpu). | ||
| 3. You can now remove the `nomodeset` parameter from your kernel command line. | ||

| 3. Restart into Linux. You should now be able to access your Linux installation. | ||
