I just installed Ubuntu(dual boot) on my MSI GS65 Stealth Thin 8RE!
There's a small light near the power button which shows the current graphics card being used. Red is NVIDIA and white is Intel.
When I use Ubuntu, it's always red and I don't know why it is happening. I tried going to Settings>Details. This shows that the graphics driver is Intel but still NVIDIA is being used.
I have not installed any NVIDIA driver and just did nouveau.modeset=0 in GRUB!
Please help!

I doubt that light is maintained by Ubuntu and I would suggest that your problem is probably BIOS related. Maybe it is not actually testing what graph card is used but it is a setting in BIOS.

trynvidia-smi, you would know if the drivers are installed and the Nvidia card is in use or not. Another command to check which card is in use isprime-select query

Under windows if you disable nVidia device the indicator is also kept on. I think you need correctly configure Optimus mode so nVidia card can be switched off.

I followed "Automatic Install using standard Ubuntu Repository" from the following blog post:
https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-the-nvidia-drivers-on-ubuntu-18-10-cosmic-cuttlefish-linux
I am now able to switch between NVIDIA and Intel! I currently switched to Intel, so white light is now shown.
