Comment 49 for bug 1973434

On further digging around, I noticed the nvidia temperatures were rising and utilization was in the 30-40% range when I was doing things (firefox, terminal, pycharm).

I then remembered that while I had originally configured graphics to use nvidia only on demand around 20.04, this had reverted to nvidia by default to everything on some update. I didn't really try to fix it since it was sort of working and trying to get prime and bumblebee working have eaten up so much of my life already.

I have now switched the PRIME profile in nvidia-settings to ondemand. This has improved performance significantly. I have created the prime-run script from https://askubuntu.com/questions/1364762/prime-run-command-not-found to run specific applications with prime, and it seems to be working.

I am still using x11.
