glxinfo | grep OpenGL not showing nvidia

I just installed Ubuntu 19.10, ran sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade, already have nvidia drivers installed, but I don't know why when I run glxinfo | grep OpenGL it doesn't show nothing about nvidia.

It seems that prime-select feature is it doesn't work for amd/nvidia but only for intel/nvidia, so I had to manually config some files.

Basically I had to edit 2 files

1. /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-amdgpu.conf

   In this one, I replaced the line with Driver "amdgpu" with Driver "modesetting"

2. /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf

   I added a new line inside OutputClass: Option "PrimaryGPU" "Yes"

OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GTX 1660 Ti with Max-Q Design/PCIe/SSE2 OpenGL core profile version string: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 435.21 OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 4.60 NVIDIA OpenGL core profile context flags: (none) OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile OpenGL core profile extensions: OpenGL version string: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 435.21 OpenGL shading language version string: 4.60 NVIDIA OpenGL context flags: (none) OpenGL profile mask: (none) OpenGL extensions: OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.2 NVIDIA 435.21 OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.20 OpenGL ES profile extensions: 

These instructions were given here. So now I was able to see the correct output of glxinfo.
