For some folks, the civilized way is full on command line and homemade scripts instead of software that does all that and more.
For others, the civilized way is point & click, (just install the software)
Since you have Nvidia Optimus, it's probably best to let Nvidia toggle the devices. Without Nvidia drivers, no switching on the fly.
I have dual graphics Nvidia/Intel, switching between the two is done by pressing a switch while running Windows which requires a reboot. No Nvidia drivers needed, just need to install firmware-linux-nonfree (Debian) for nouveau to do 3D. Some computers require switching graphics devices via Firmware settings.
However, switching on the fly?
It appears you can do that with an Optimus system, since both graphics devices are enabled. A system without Optimus typically only has one of the two enabled, as such there's no switching on the fly.
