Apparently my laptop has two drivers, and linux does not want to recognise the 2nd one (more powerful, for games etc).
Am I actually fucked? I set up linux, and I was having fun. I don't want to buy a new laptop bros... linux mint XFCE was so comfy... made me think of windows xp

try
$ DRI_PRIME=1 glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"
dunno what you're trying to run/play but if it's a steam game just change the launch options to DRI_PRIME=1 %command%
