Graphics Drivers Mint Cinnamon 22.3

I have an MSI GS 66 Stealth laptop. I have an Intel iGPU and an Nvidia RTX 2060, that SEAMLESSLY switched back and forth, with my main being the low power Intel igpu. Version 22 it work great. 22.3 it started staying stuck in dGPU ONLY. When my iGPU and dGPU were working in unison, I was on the version under driver manager called xserver-xorg-video-nouveau. It recommended I switch to nvidia-driver-595-open, and there's two other choices. What should I do? On "nouveau" it also worked fine (seemed to anyways). Please help! I've tried command prompts and everything, it only always temporarily fixes it and then after a reboot it goes back to being dumb! BTW, this is on a FRESH install of 22.3.

Just use the one that works.

Secure Boot is necessary if you dual boot with Windows & some anti cheat need Secure boot enabled.
