Screen tearing in Ubuntu 20.04 using Intel HD Graphics 530

I'm a noob so please bear with me.

I am experiencing screen tearing using Ubuntu 20.4, which is a fresh install. I am using a laptop with Intel HD Graphics 530. I have a dedicated video card too, but I do not want to use that one as the default one.

So far I have tried to follow the steps here, but right after creating the 20-intel.conf file with "TearFree" set as "true", I rebooted my laptop and I was stuck in an endless login loop, so I am afraid of tinkering with it too much, because I had to reinstall Ubuntu 2 times already.

Any other suggestions? Thanks!

So basically what sorted it out was to first of all check in Settings > About what video card my system was using, and it was the Nvidia. I then typed "nvidia-settings" in the Terminal and I found an option that let me use my Intel graphics card. Screen tearing gone. Then I re-enabled my Nvidia card just to see what would happen and lo and behold, no screen tearing anymore. Weird.
