My question is about use of Hybrid GPU in Ubuntu. Specifically, I want to know how to install driver and how to use switch GPU depending to the application.

I am using a HP ZBook 15 G2, with an Intel i7-4710MQ CPU, an Intel-HD4600 GPU and two AMD FirePro M5100 GPUs.

I recently installed the Xubuntu flavor of Ubuntu. I want to use this OS for 3D rendering (Maya, Blender), and Unity3d game development.

I changed and tested with both BIOS settings, 'Hybrid GPU' and 'Auto'.

I also tried a lot solutions but nothing working for me.

Here are some useful results:

$ xrandr --listproviders
Providers: number : 1
Provider 0: id: 0x44 cap: 0x9, Source Output, Sink Offload crtcs: 3 outputs: 2 associated providers: 0 name:modesetting

$ lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|Display'

        Kernel driver in use: radeon
        Kernel modules: radeon, amdgpu

$ uname -r
5.11.0-27-generic

The detected driver is also not showing exact details about my hardware.

Please comment if need more info about the issue.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
