Other laptops allow changing the GPU reservation via the BIOS, sometimes thru hidden advanced menus. I don't see anything video related in this BIOS (version 3.01, released in Dec 2019), even in "advanced" menu, and I don't know if there are hidden menus accessible via a magical key combination.
HELP!

jcearead the user manual of your laptop model.This is a UM431DA, BIOS 3.01 (It came with 3.0, I just upgraded, I still can't find anything relevant), Ryzen 3700U RAM: 16GB . Booting Linux I see that the GPU is taking 2GB of RAM away. I am not a gamer and my GPU needs are tiny. I would rather prefer to configure the BIOS to reduce that reservation and preserve RAM for my actual needs (CPU).
