    According to this answer bumblebee no longer is the recommended option: https://askubuntu.com/a/735251/1029870

    In addition to this I suggest you install TLP and HES. TLP is a set of tools that helps with Laptop hardware, especially with things like spinning fans and thermal management and the HWE Stack (Hardware Enablement Stack) gives you access to the newest drivers and a more recent Kernel.

    To install tlp run:

    sudo apt install tlp tlp-rdw

    and after that:

    sudo tlp start

    To install HWE Stack:

    sudo apt install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-18.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-18.04
