well the intel isn't for bumblebee because intel is set by default to run whole system on the laptop. i use optirun/primusrun to use nvidia for certain apps.
i have default xorg conf of nvidia so i havent really changed anything, but its important to have driver=nvidia in bumblebee.conf
this is bumblebee.conf that i have here if somebody needs it
# Configuration file for Bumblebee. Values should **not** be put between quotes
## Server options. Any change made in this section will need a server restart
# to take effect.

# Card power state at exit. Set to false if the card shoud be ON when Bumblebee

nvidia xorg conf is pretty straightforward as well

well right now i noticed there is some difference between using primusrun/optirun for apps i need wine for and stuff like linux games on steam or opensource free linux native games like supertuxkart. they always run, but for example i noticed that counter stke source wont run under primusrun or optirun. i can run wine stuff or counter strke source using intel gpu just fine, but if i type primerun wine app i usually get crash. but its not artix fault, its more like gpu or bumblebee.
i read on internet that ubuntu and ubuntu based distros have something like nvidia prime set up where u can just change what gpu you wanna use then you need to reboot and you have your nvidia gpu loaded but it will use it for everything, not just certain app.
i also read on internet that manjaro or antergos have something similar.
Manjaro has its named Optimus Manager
https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?title=Optimus_Manager
while on mint when i load nvidia gpu i can run every app just fine, but well... only if mint had the same performance that artix has + nvidia prime choose gpu and that would be just fabulous. but i get lots of freezes when im on mint unfortunately, however i can confirm that counter stke global offensive dota 2 supertuxkart or wesnoth run just great under nvidia .
right now i only wanna get hold of custom made PC with proper AMD gpu and cpu + use open source drivers and install artix on it and see how everything performs . but well i think artix has very huge potential in terms of games because its extremely light fast and easy. if i get errors they're pretty straightforward. i noticed that logs on manjaro looked a bit different but maybe that was my imagination, not sure.
i am very pleased for artix performance, i hope that as soon as i will have some amd pc artix will still be supported so i can play games on it and tell everybody how fast and stable it is .
sorry i am not sure what do you mean modules because i'm not really into tech ;P.
so i have to say i tried to configure bumblebee primus to play cs go with my friend, anything else that isn't so gpu demanding like this game, runs just fine under intel gpu i have here. last week i bought about 10 second hand games for pc. well and i have them all installed, so somebody who has old pc and wants to play xp games he can just install artix...
of course games made in xp era i noticed have some DRM stuff so some of them need no cd patch to be downloaded, for example medal of honor allied assault, stronghold 1, battlefield 2 perhaps gothic series as well...
but well i am very satisfied. i wish mint was so lightweigh and stable like artix is, but well it isn't . i also dont have network manager here and pulseaudio as well, i am very satisfied with sound quality i have on artix, its really good in games.
i dont know what to say but well everybody who plays games should install artix and use it!!!
