From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If you haven't already, check for Nouveau support. And if your card is supported, you may need a kernel parameter. I needed
nouveau.config=NvClkMode=15(but be warned some parameters like that have some risk, like possibility of overheating, and may or may not be applicable or safe for your GPU).For me, it has worked to just set environment variable
DRI_PRIME=1to use the Nvidia GPU for that specific application. (Maybe this is what Bumblebee does; I don't know.)In the future, though, I recommend avoiding Nvidia hardware.
