Hi:

 

Fixed mode is the one you want.  You can run the notebook off the Intel GPU or the AMD GPU.

 

Dynamic mode:  The notebook automatically determines which adapter to use based on load.

 

The only thing is, I highly doubt that Linux developed a custom driver for the Intel/AMD switchable graphics adapters.
