I regret that you did not want to implement the necessary drivers for this (https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=3860#comment-153563).

However, it would be desirable that you implement an facultative option allowing to blacklist the Intel gpu (which is not possible to disabled it into the bios) so as to force the boot on the Nvidia gpu with support of it driver.

Thank you in advance and have a good weekend for you and your family

Maybe in a future release. For now this isn't part of the scope for LMDE. Driver Manager and nvidia-prime-applet rely on ubuntu-drivers and nvidia-prime which are Ubuntu specific and which we didn't port.

It's really unfortunate, implementing Optimus or Bumblebee would certainly be easy for you !! It's a hassle for us.
