Xrandr showing HDMI output as disconnected when it is not
An amazing tool to use optimus (switching nvidia on/off between boots) is optimus-switch: https://github.com/dglt1/optimus-switch
What are some alternatives?
When comparing optimus-switch-gdm and optimus-switch you can also consider the following projects:
supergfxctl
optimus-switch-sddm - easy installer for optimus-switch for SDDM, sets up nvidia PRIME and also allows for easy switching between intel/nvidia (prime mode) and intel only mode where nvidia gpu is powered down and no longer visible. modes are switched with "sudo set-intel.sh" or "sudo set-nvidia.sh" .
optimus-manager - A Linux program to handle GPU switching on Optimus laptops.
