This is not recommended! Bumblebee is deprecated. Please read this info

You can easily revert back to nouveau using the `-n` flag. Also note that Optimus is only needed if you have a hybrid card and want to switch between say Intel and Nvidia card. I use a hybrid card laptop for example and the Nvidia kicks in when connecting an external monitor. No Optimus is needed. Just the right Nvidia driver.

Please also post hardware info to get help

> Just added a new button to Welcome: Logs for troubleshooting. With that button you can select many different logs about your system, send them to pastebin, and show the returned URL here. Then others have better chances to help you. The button runs the eos-log-tool, which lets you choose what logs you want to show. The default set of logs are already selected, but you may choose a completely different set of logs. [logs] [tool] If new log items are needed, just let us know! sweat_smile

Welcome to the forum 😁 btw
