what’s the output of

env | grep XDG_SESSION_TYPE

and

glxinfo | grep server

if glxinfo isn’t avaiable you’ll need to install “mesa-utils” first

Hi

output of these are

env | grep XDG_SESSION_TYPE                                                                                                                  ✔ 
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11

and

glxinfo | grep server                                                                                                                        ✔

well you said that you already installed optimus. please use it again, switch to nvidia and post the output of

glxinfo | grep server

it should display that nvidia is used. that’s the first step.

also post the output of

inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --width

that’s the basic information we’ll need
