I think you are running into this perhaps

https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/bbswitch/pull/196

So this patch should work around it or you could use the upstream version.

https://pastebin.com/2D4ewzC2

So I guess you need to ask the person whop built this for fedora to add that patch to it or git clone the newest version.

It works indeed, thanks!

I've updated the Guix package to follow the "develop" branch, it works now.
