ok I have installed it
Because it is not compatible, one of the component is not whitelisted for Prime setup in MHWD.
//EDIT: but it seems it actually should be as his Nvidia card (10de vendor ID, 128b device ID) is obviously listed in the Nvidia ID list for 470 drivers, and for Intel it supports all (all with vendor ID 8086 as I have seen other Intel vendor ID) but a few blacklisted ones.
okay open /etc/default/grub with kate

ready, reboot?
yes and fingers crossed, but it will work (it’s possible that you have to activate the external monitor in the system-settings after reboot). are you on plasma/gnome or any other gui ?

one question, is the service activated?
ctl status optimus-manager
● optimus-manager.service - Optimus Manager Commands Daemon
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/optimus-manager.service; enabled; preset: disabled)
Active: active (running) since Mon 2022-07-18 10:45:04 -05; 1min 0s ago
yes xfce4
yes it’s loaded and active. nothing to worry. if you wanna be 111110000000% sure you can do a
sudo systemctl enable optimus-manager
before rebooting, but it has no real effect since it is already active
