HI Guys Great work i am running Arch Linux sys on my Dell XPS15 9560 This is unit came with 2 GPU's see here

The system is currently using the built in GPU the HD Graphics 630 But it has a GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile] which need the 550.67 version.

But not sure if i can have the drivers installed for the Nvidia and how does on swap what GPU to use ? I have seen 2 apps called envycontrol & optimus-manage which is the best to use?

optimus-manager would be best if you use xorg, if you use wayland you can use all-ways-gpu.

check PRIME. In fact, most of the time you don't have to do anything
