I am trying to run makehuman (http://www.makehumancommunity.org) on my manjaro linux system, but as you can see from this thread I started on their forum (makehumancommunity.org • View topic - Broken interface, manjaro linux, AUR), I am having graphics issues with the application.
They recommend I try to force discrete graphics when running the application, since I appear to be defaulting to my iGPU.
As someone new to linux, I have no idea how to do this.
In case it helps, here is the output of nvidia-smi:

Any advice would be fantastic.
