      For a long time I have had had the issue of not being able to run Minecraft on my computer. I am able to successfully open the launcher and download the game, however the game does not work as it instantly crashes. It is not modded, and it is the latest version. Here is the error I have received:

      ---- Minecraft Crash Report ----
      // Don't do that.

      I tried resolving the issue by having a friend send their options.txt file so I could disable VBOs without being in the in-game menu as I have heard that some people have had issues with VBOs, however it didn't resolve my problem. I believe this problem has arisen because I have a laptop with a dedicated Nvidia card and integrated Intel card which means I have to use an Nvidia optimus card for dual graphics. The driver works well with other games, however as the support is still not as good as on Windows, and there may be issues like the one I have experience with my Minecraft. Another possible explanation (which I think is the most likely one) is that as my laptop monitor is broken and I use an external monitor for my PC. If I can recall correctly, when my laptop screen was still working and I had the Nvidia driver installed in the past (albeit an older version), I had no problems, probably due to the fact that I didn't have multiple monitors. This is not a hardware problem as when I used to have have Windows on the same computer (which I don't have anymore because Windows 10 destroyed my computer), Minecraft was fully functional - even with the two monitors. To conclude I believe this is a Linux exclusive Nvidia graphics multiple monitor problem that I would love to be resolved so that I could play Minecraft again.
