i'm facing lots of trouble with UBUNTU 14.04 with NVIDIA 820M and Intel HD graphic.
issues:
limited screen resolution (1366x768, 1024x768, 800x600) .. can't find 1280x760 ?
can't change colors (RGB)
can't change brightness

is these problems on Ubuntu side or NVIDIA or Intel side ?

will other paid OS work fine like RedHat ?

The OS you use does not matter...

simply install the Nvidia driver:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia#Installation
[use the gui or type:]
Code: 
sudo apt-get install nvidia-331
reboot

Intel drivers will work out of the box, obviously you are using Nvidia and not the intel...

If you want to enable switchable Nvidia/Intel graphics then you need "Bumblebee". Which is a bit more complicated to set up. Usually it is best to just avoid Nvidia "Optimus" laptops!
