@GeekTea Hybrid and Optimus is the same thing. Optimus could be considered the “brand name” for hybrid graphics. I use the Optimus-Switch method for handling my graphics cards. You can find a step by step tutorial on how to install it here:

Just chroot into your system and follow the directions for LightDM.
