I am new to Linux so I used an old laptop to try it out as a daily driver. Everything went well until I wanted to do some light gaming. It defaulted to the Intel integrated graphics and not to my Nvidia gpu.

Here is some extra information I could find.

ERROR: Error querying connected displays on GPU 0 (Missing Extension).
ERROR: nvidia-settings could not find the registry key file. This file should have been installed along with this driver at
/usr/share/nvidia/nvidia-application-profiles-key-documentation. The application profiles will continue to work, but values cannot be prepopulated or validated, and will not be
listed in the help text. Please see the README for possible values and descriptions.
I have 390xx Bumblebee installed, I tried reinstalling it and the distro but nothing seems to work for me. Would anyone have an easy solution for a beginner?
