@ber4444 the frustrating bug you mentioned is fixed with a patch you
have to apply yourself. it happens with hybrid graphics and the
proprietary nvidia driver.

workaround is to use a usb mouse instead of the touchpad.

So i have the same problem, i can't uninstall the proprietary nvidia driver from GUI, so i had to follow guides like this:
