I recently purchased a Lenovo IdeaPad 5 15ITL05 laptop and I installed Arch Linux on it. On my old laptop [Acer Aspire E1-571G] I used Nouveau and didn't care about NVIDIA drivers. It was working OK. However, with my new laptop I'm not sure if it's the right choice. I feel that the closed-source NVIDIA drivers might provide me with a lot more features than Nouveau. Which graphics driver do you suggest that I use? Nouveau, NVIDIA, or NVIDIA Optimus? What other useful GPU related apps should I install on my laptop to get the best graphics experience?

on my laptop:
CPU: 11th Gen Intel i7-1165G7 (8) @ 4.700GHz GPU: NVIDIA GeForce MX450 GPU: Intel TigerLake-LP GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics]
