I think you're looking for something like this:

Im here looking for someone that made it

Because deepin doesnt have modprobe.d or nvidisx64_x86 files I just realized that deepin doesnt have mane components that MUST BE on any debian distro, just look the grub files theres no comments why they do that?

I installed bumblebee some time back, forgot the process I went through.

The install was very simple (Opensuse). For the steps you listed, you get rid of noveau after you install nvidia driver. Also bumblebee can only be triggered by optirun or primus. (CL command: primus steam).

I would strongly suggest you ask on the debian forums (follow the exact steps from a reputable source), not sure if you will get your info here.

As for your last question, deepin is just a fork of debian. There's a lot more stuff that deepin does right with edited default configs.

That wiki worked perfectly for me! Any files missing will be installed. Not sure you think what you're missing.
Installing the Bumblebee driver ment for Nvidia (bumblebee-nvidia for proprietary nvidia driver else take the nouveau driver) can be done the best way using the terminal since the terminal will show you what other files (dependencies) will be installed alongside the bumblebee diver and primus.

Any other site i found describes the same process as written on the Debian wiki. The only thing is that the Debian wiki writes about Debian and their designated version names (Sid or Wheezy or Jessie)

Since deepin is build on Debian stable, the whole procedure written on the Debian wiki can be used for deepin also (deepin is based on Debian unstable).

I found a site that provide the same info (maybe more) but i have to look it up.




Ps.: I'm not your dude.

I've already set up Bumblee + proprietary Nvidia driver in Debian Jessie and works pretty good but never be able to reproduce it when I change my same laptop to Deepin.
Deepin appears to not be Debian on this side.

The words I've said just on the top was right few months ago, not anymore now {

What I've done:
- Install headers for the kernel
- Install bumblebee-nvidia
- adduser user bumblebee
- cat >> /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia < Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Default Screen"
    Device "DiscreteNvidia"
EndSection
EOF
- reboot
- you're done!


Edit: If have added the Debian Sid repo to install the latest nvidia drivers for the best performance. Works well!
