*-- I am looking for a way to make the heavy graphics apps like flatpak steam games use nvidia gpu instead of default intel gpu.i saw some gpu switching tools like vga switcheroo,bumblebee,primus but i couldn’t find any clear method to configure any of those tools for parrot os. dota 2 is lagging heavily when i use the best graphics and even the hashcat -b is using the intel gpu.i have started using os other than windows recently so if the given info is not enough to solve this problem,kindly ask and i will provide it asap.
