Hi.

Thanks for quick response.

You're mentioning that I need to use prime-select.

Do you have a link on how I should proceed with on terminal or in a
different fashion.

My concern is that I have a built machine and really want to use
Ubuntu/Linux distro. Nvidia drivers is for my need to do video and photo
edit while also gaming for my kids.

Much appreciated

Best regards

Sebastian Carter

you're using an unofficial ppa which could mess things up, besides your
machine is a hybrid machine so you need to use prime-select in order to
switch to nvidia
