My new system upgrade included a new i7-6700K. This, along with my GTX 780 means I now have 2 video cards - the second one being the Intel HD530. I have disabled it in the bios for now, but every time I upgrade the nvidia driver, it installs bbswitch and nvidia-prime as dependencies. I have been in the habit of removing these immediately afterward and the system does not complain when I do so they must not really be dependencies.
Other than the added time it takes (dkms module building) when a kernel update is installed, is there any reason I should keep these? If not, I'd like to block them once and for all.
I suppose if I enabled the Intel video card I might want them. But my Nvidia card runs 3 monitors and I can't imagine why I would want a 4th. If I were to remove the Nvidia card, I would remove the drivers first and install the Intel driver so in that would be a factor.
