I have an HP Omen with Core i7 integrated Intel graphics and an NVidia 1050Ti. With recent versions of the kernel (Ubuntu 18.04 and Arch) it is unusable if the standard Linux "nouveau" driver gets loaded - screen freezes, sometimes black screens. I've had to blacklist it (modprobe.blacklist=nouveau on the kernel parameters line) to get it to come up with the Intel GPU. Then I install the proprietary drivers. I haven't tried Fedora. You can probably do a web search to find out when "nouveau" lost its ability to deal with NVidia cards; I just got the machine last December and it was broken back then.
