I tried to install using the documentation found here (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bumblebee), but when running:
optirun glxgears -info
I get this output:
[ 309.531594] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) Failed to load module "nouveau" (module does not exist, 0)
[ 309.531645] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.
I have two video cards: one integrated from Intel and a dedicated GeForce GTX 960M.

inxi -G(it's on AUR if you don't have it installed) or, at least which drivers you have installed for the card. Are you using thenouveauopen source drivers? The proprietarynvidia? The error suggests your system is looking for nouveau but can't find it. Have you gone through wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nouveau? – terdon♦ May 30 '19 at 18:02lspci -vis an easy way to list the drivers you are using - search the output for your video controllers, looking at the "Kernel driver in use" and "Kernel modules" lines.lspciis most likely installed. – fra-san May 30 '19 at 18:47
