A Linux program for switching between Nvidia and Intel/AMD GPUs on Optimus laptops. It manages which GPU runs the desktop and handles display manager integration on Xorg and Wayland.

Use cases

  • switch between nvidia and intel gpu on my laptop
  • save battery by using integrated gpu
  • run games on the dedicated gpu
  • manage optimus gpu switching on arch linux
  • toggle hybrid graphics from the command line

When to choose

  • you have an Nvidia Optimus laptop running Linux with Xorg or Wayland
  • you want to switch GPUs at login time via your display manager
  • you use Arch Linux and can install from the AUR

When to avoid

  • you need runtime per-application GPU switching (use PRIME render offload or envycontrol instead)
  • you are not on Linux or do not have hybrid Nvidia graphics
  • you use a display manager or setup not covered by its supported list
