Hello,

Device-2: NVIDIA GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile] driver: nouveau

You are using the nouveau drivers on a system that will definitely perform better with proprietary drivers.
See here and the linked topic from there that points to the archived forum

Hello, I think this is not the way to go: In the old forum there was a tutorial or two how to get optimus-manager to work. See here:

• add the string nowatchdog as follows in /etc/default/grub.
  Example:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet nowatchdog apparmor=1 security=apparmor udev.log_priority=3"

Run sudo update-grub followed by sudo mkinitcpio -P and then restart the system.

• also you can create a file called /etc/modprobe.d/watchdog.conf like this:
  echo "blacklist iTCO_wdt" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/watchdog.conf
  but is not clear if the iTCO_wdt is the module in cause for your laptop, so maybe better use first option above.

How to Choose the Proper ACPI Kernel Argument

Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆ The introduction of Optimus laptops have created new challenges for Linux users. One of the biggest issues is having the proprietary graphics card work when the system boots. Many times the advice given is to add an Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (acpi ) kernel parameter to grub. While a specific acpi kernel parameter may be given, it is sometimes not appropriate to the hardware it is being applied to. This can cause system instability and some functions of the lap…

Hope this helps!
