[TUTORIAL] Installing official NVIDIA driver in Optimus laptop

[MatLab]

@TiGER511 you are the greatest!

I do have 2 questions (and these maybe either my lack of understanding or being very sleep deprived)

But I am completely lost on steps 6 & 7. Do I click the links and follow those instructions?

I did "glxinfo | grep -i "direct rendering"" and it returned with a yes so idk if I am good to go or not b/c when I did the "xrandr --verbose|grep PRIME" it doesn't return with any responses.


On 4k screen everything was working perfectly but once I installed nvidia drivers the tool bars on programs became huge and so did the buttons. But the taskbar is at it's original size. idk why this is...been through the settings and all

You don't have to follow instruction on these link if you are using GDM and not having trouble.I've mentioned those source articles just in case anyone need any explanation or have different setups.Just follow these steps as it is,should work fine.

do you have xrandr installed? what is the output of "xrandr --verbose"
