The link below says that by default the system uses `Intel HD graphics` (the
iGPU) and using the discrete GPU requires a proprietary driver! Does this mean
that having `nouveau` is not enough?
I don't have that particular card, but I think noveau should work with it.
And if you really need to you can install NVidia drivers.
However, you might want to upgrade Ubuntu - the latest LTS release is
22.04.
Many tools are improved, including perf and Xorg.
