I need an intel driver to turn the fucking useless onboard graphics off. for debian. any tips?

[-] vivendi@programming.dev 2 points 5 hours ago

You can't. Some laptops have the igpu as the dedicated driver of the display and can't do hardware mux. If your laptop doesn't offer the option in UEFI, it probably doesn't support it.

My laptop has this option in the bios settings Not sure if it's only for laptops but you could check there.

Leave it to budget boards to exclude every possible useful setting but keep "boot from lan"
