Thank you for your reply,
I think my goal was "hybrid" graphics. Having to reboot in order to switch it almost would be pointless because I could reboot into my windows installation. The problem is, even shown in that link, a lot of these solutions seem targeted at latops with integrated Intel graphics and Nvidia GPUs. amdgpu seems a little strange at times and I wasn't sure how to proceed in some cases.
I looked into switcheroo, but apt search switcheroo only came up with switcheroo-control which appears to be just a service while the mysterious vga-switcheroo does the work, but only works with the default video drivers (which dont work on my PC). I haven't really found anything which allows me to both install amdgpu and nvidia drivers (trying boots to black screen). xrandr only lists 1 provider right now.
Ok, I didn't know whether it would be ok to post this under ubuntu or not thank you for clarification.
While I have learned a lot in the past year or two, I have only been using linux for about a year and haven't fully delved into the advanced features of how the OS works.
