linux-driver-management will be brought back to life with a number of small changes.
The existing implementation predates widespread adoption (and viability) of glvnd, thus forces uses onto the dGPU when proprietary
drivers are installed, resulting in reduced efficiency.
- Default to iGPU in xorg.conf
- Support switcheroo-control compatibility:
- Symlink for supporting list and launch commands
- Expose same D-BUS service, using the *working* logic of LDM
- Implement launching using env vars:
- NVIDIA: __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1
- Intel/AMD: DRI_PRIME=1
- Test integration with GNOME
- Investigate Plasma integration work
- Ensure Budgie compatibility
- Document the launch commands for other desktops
- Potentially integrate into Brisk Menu for MATE
- Investigate Caja compat.
- Investigate whether we need to forcibly enable PRIME_SYNCHRONIZATION in ldm-session-init, otherwise drop these integrations.
- Test @TClark77 and @ikey laptops
- Get AMD testers (@ermo ?)
Unknown: MATE desktop
