I went ahead and updated my BIOS this morning and this laptop has no way to disable the Optimus feature, even after the update.
These are the guides I tried...

https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers/Optimus#
https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install- ... etch-linux
https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers
I also tried guides from other distributions like Arch Linux but I am getting nowhere. I really want to get back into using Linux as my desktop. I am doing more research into security at work and I have learned enough Windows to last me for years, time to switch gears and learn Linux again.
Thanks to anyone that can take the time to help here, forever in your debt.
