Description:

D-Bus service to check the availability of dual-GPU

For systems that have both an integrated GPU and a dedicated GPU, this package by default will force the integrated GPU to be used to save power. . You can launch individual apps using the dedicated GPU by running them with the environment variable DRI_PRIME=1. Or you can right-click on the app (while it's not running) in GNOME Shell's Activities Overview and choose the "Launch using Dedicated Graphics Card" option. . If this default behavior is not appropriate, uninstall this package or set xdg.force_integrated=0 as a kernel command-line option in your bootloader.
