Go to solution Solved by LloydLynx,

Oh you got hybrid graphics, definitely go with integrated then. Using nouveau would probably kill your battery anyway.

Also a little tip, launching a program from the terminal with "DRI_PRIME=1" before the command will launch the program using the second graphics device. For example, launching Firefox on the second GPU would be: DRI_PRIME=1 firefox

You might run into issues with it though, seeing as what we've had to deal with in this thread.
