Supposedly there is a way to configure the NVidia drivers to force use of the NVidia chip always. Yes yes, that drains batteries more quickly. "I do not care."
System76 knows the technique. I sent them an inquiry seeing that they offer a laptop with the NVidia Geforce GTX 970M or 980M chips. Their reply was they configure it without the need of Optimus + bumblebee to always use the NVidia chip. That tells me it is possible...
