I just wished there were a easy way to OS-wide or even across certain apps, to make them use the specific GPU.
If you have 2 GPU, that becomes a problem VERY FAST, on some laptops (if not most) with an dedicated and integrated GPUs, you see the integrated one being used instead of the other one.
Or you might want to use both of them, but divide them across multiple apps?
Perhaps dGPU for gaming and iGPU for some other workloads alongside?
There’s a parameter that can be set in a .desktop file, PrefersNonDefaultGPU=true, which should force an application to use the dedicated GPU on a laptop, but obviously that doesn’t work for command-line-only tools.

Yay!

That is still tedious
We should AT LEAST be at the same level if not better compared to Windows!
On windows its automatically resolved

Doesn’t Nvidia have Prime for their Linux drivers built in now? I remember you used to have to fuck around with Bumblebee, now that was a hassle.
I guess if you don’t have an Nvidia GPU it’s still a hassle.
