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
