Yep, Optimus is horrible for VR.
I was one of the ones that got burned with an Optimus laptop. Never again.

Optimus is also horrible for any Linux system.
Yes, there is Bumblebee to make it work, but setting that up and making it work is a nightmare to begin with.
This is an area where linux graphics card drivers are really behind.
My next laptop will definitely not use optimus. I don't care about the battery life as I am mostly plugged in anyway.
And by now, most busses - not sure about trains - (at least in Germany) have power sockets, too.
