Pop-os acting up.

If you use hybrid graphics mode with an Nvidia card while the laptop screen turned off, it gets very laggy. It's a known issue with the Nvidia driver; https://github.com/pop-os/nvidia-graphics-drivers/issues/61. Switch to Nvidia graphics mode (open the quick settings on the top right, click the battery icon, then Nvidia graphics) when you're plugged in and it should work correctly.

Read this and found it too funny

Oh yeah? You know what else works out of the box? macOS. I have yet to find the mythical restrictions that some oldheads keep talking about. The usability is better too. By far. The only things that work better on Ubuntu e.g. Docker, can be offloaded to a VM and don't have to run on my personal machine. I don't take Windows serious for anything but .NET development and gaming. I don't care about out of the box compatibility. I don't mind installing an NVidia tool that handles the driver updates as long as it works well. pop_os is just not it: https://github.com/pop-os/nvidia-graphics-drivers/issues/135 Which takes us back to my last argument about the prayers befor every update.

You can keep up with the availability of testing branches here https://github.com/pop-os/nvidia-graphics-drivers
So how you update to newer NVIDIA drivers?

How do CUDA and Optix work on Pop OS on an Alienware m15 r4?
3 projects | /r/linuxhardware | 8 Feb 2021

However the samples you sent me are a no-go because they were built with Optix version 6, and I'm on version 7.2.0, and there are incompatibilities. BUT, because of a similar issue posted on the repo (dude couldn't get the samples to build), one of the Nvidia devs ported some of the apps over to Optix 7 and created a repo here: https://github.com/NVIDIA/OptiX_Apps which I'm now trying to build.
