Hello, I’m new to Linux. I think I uninstalled the Intel driver, so I can’t use my laptop screen and an external monitor. I have to use nvidia-prime-ui, lets me choose NVIDIA or Intel, but I can’t use both. My NVIDIA GPU is running, as shown by nvidia-smi.

Using xrandr outputs me this
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 4096 x 4096
None-1 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
1920x1080 60.00*+
I have an Acer Predator Helios 300 ph315-51 laptop if that helps
