On systems with a hybrid intel/Nvidia GPU the proprietary nvidia driver can be installed to gain a higher performance. This is also needed to be able to use CUDA.
To install the Nvidia proprietary driver just use:
ubuntu-drivers list
and when you have choosen the driver you'd like install it via:
ubuntu-drivers install <your-chosen-version>
Due to a custom kernel you will need to install nvidia dkms.
sudo apt install nvidia-dkms-$(nvidia-detector | grep -Eo '[0-9]'{3})
After a reboot the nvidia driver should be loaded.
It is also possible to install a gnome extension by which one can switch graphics. For more information look under: https://support.system76.com/articles/graphics-switch-pop/
To install add the repository and install the extension as well as the package:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:system76-dev/stable
sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-system76-power system76-power
