The same issue I already solve @Ubuntu 64bit using this manual (for the same laptop of course): https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php ... st13663158 but it doesn't work in a way that Prime synchronization is not enabled (there is no line added in xrandr --verbose ).
I am sure that this manual is capable to fix this issue, but for some reason doesnt work for Mint
IF there is no solution, then I will come back to ubuntu or some other distro (manjaro for example). I really like Mint and would like to try something to fix this.
Any suggestion pls?
