Question about Nvidia/Intel Hybrid Device

[LinuxRocks]

So I have been using Fedora and someone there created a neat script that allows a user to switch between nvidia and integrated intel drivers. This has worked well and allows me to save battery life when I am not gaming on my laptop.

Ubuntu had something similar on 16.04 called Nvidia Prime, but that broke in 18.04. Work has been underway by the community (https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/call-...and-18-10/8207) but I was wondering if anyone here knows how this works with KDE?

Does anyone have this type of setup and able to switch between video cards on the fly with Kubuntu?

Thanks for the help!
