Fedora prime
Switching between intel/nvidia drivers made simple.
This repository contains just two scripts setup-intel.sh and setup-nvidia.sh.
Those scripts are modifying kernel parameters to enable/disable nouveau and nvidia
drivers. Doing so should switch which gpu is used.
While nouveau driver is loaded, it should disable discrete gpu. But there is a
chance that it will not. Unfortunately it doesn't on my laptop, so I decided
to change my linux distro. This means that I'll no longer actively maintain
fedora-prime, but I'll still accept pull requests or maybe even work on some
issues. But still, I encourage you to try fedora-prime. If it will not work for
you, try to use 0.1.1 version (see releases or tags).

Installation
Copy and paste setup-intel.sh and setup-nvidia.sh into some directory on
your PC (for example /usr/bin or ~/bin).
Usage
To use intel run:
sudo ./setup-intel.shTo use nvidia run:
sudo ./setup-nvidia.shNow you must reboot.
To check if it's working run:
glxinfo | grep 'OpenGL renderer'This will print which gpu is used. But even if it's intel, nvidia gpu may be still on. To check that use powertop.
