I just I feel scammed when I got a laptop with Nvidia graphics card which preforms poorly with Ubuntu or any other Linux distro. I've tried Fedora, Ubuntu, OpenSuse and many other, thanks to Nvidia their drivers break the system.

I've installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and I installed Nvidia GTX 960M driver, from additional drivers utility. Whenever I restart my notebook, as long as I don't change the driver settings to Intel the system works fine. The moment I change the driver to Intel, the system breaks and I had to use recovery mode to remove the Nvidia driver. Swiching to Intel from nvidia-prime causes the fan to rotate fast and I get nothing once I reboot, I just see a black screen with nothing in it.

For Ubuntu 17.04 I can't speak. I feel lucky to be able to install Nvidia driver in Ubuntu 16.04. Under 17.04 once I install the driver, I had to go back to recovery mode and remove the Nvidia driver completely. I had probably installed Ubuntu and other Linux distro multiple times and I just think now about getting rid of my notebook which is Asus GL-752VW for the sake of installing Linux. I can't cope with Windows by nature.

I also tried to install Nvidia driver from nvidia.com, it didn't work.

For the moment, I don't care if Nvidia graphic card will run on my machine, I just need to make the Intel graphic card work and let Nvidia card to shut the f*** up. When I tried to just use Intel, Ubuntu will not boot or shutdown properly, because it tries to detect GPUs which takes forever, so I have to press the shutdown button each to force the shutdown. How can I use Intel graphic card alone? I just don't need to use Nvidia with Linux and I'll never buy anything from this company ever again.

    Did you try to use the command: nvidia-select intel to switch?

    I don't know why the question is marked as duplicate! That question doesn't not reflect anything that I'm talking about in this question. I'm not asking how to switch between Intel or Nvidia! I have a buggy driver issue from the sick Nvidia.

  • @RaffiKhatchadourian I've actually solved the problem with a kernel parameter.

    @RaffiKhatchadourian I'm quite sure if you post the details of your problem in Nvidia devtalk forum they'll be able to assist you. That's how I got my problem solved essentially.
