Loading unclaimed graphic card in Ubuntu 21.10 on iMac 2011

cn flag

On an iMac 21'' Mid 2011 my AMD GPU seems to have gone bad and not able to boot macOS, I am now booted into an Ubuntu 21.10 usb with persistent filesystem and can see both the cards in terminal. The question is how to load the Intel card instead of current llvm used by Ubuntu, I have tried the GRUB modeset options for both AMD and Intel but they do not work and result in black screen, probably because of how macOS handle hardware access.

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.
