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.

this seems to imply it ll switch the gpu on or off depending on load
Ok, prime laptop, run the following then:
prime-run glxinfo | grep -i vendorif prime-run doesn't work there are others like optimun, I'll check which one is the correct for mint and reply back.sam@sam-ROG-Strix-G531GT-GL531GT:~$ prime-run glxinfo | grep i vendor grep: vendor: No such file or directory
prime-run: command not found
Yeah, there might be an nvidia-prime package or something, either that or the command in mint must be different. Quick Google didn't helped me and it's after 1AM for me so my brain is not helping either, hopefully someone else can help you, if not tomorrow I'll be back.
But everything looks correct, Nvidia settings only works if the Nvidia driver is installed, now all you need is to figure out how to tell Mint to run things with the Nvidia GPU and you should be good to go.
