In addition to nouveau-modeset=0
, you can use nvidia.modeset=0
for a pure Intel HD 530 graphics environment which is many times easier to use than nVidia.
Many users find less screen-tearing and crisper fonts with Intel. Additionally there is less power drain and heat.
After installation and successful booting into Ubuntu you can type into the terminal:
sudo prime-select intel # turn on intel graphics
or:
sudo prime-select nvidia # turn on nvidia graphics
Then reboot to implement the configuration change.
Note you don’t type #
and the comment that follows.
