The Switcheroo-Control is a D-Bus service to check the availability
of hybrid GPU configurations and integrate with the desktop
environment. This tool is the recommended solution to manage GPU
switching on systems with multiple GPUs. <br>
<br>
Users are encouraged to move away from legacy tools like prime,
bbswitch, and bumblebee, as they can cause more harm than good on
modern systems. <br>
<br>
switcherooctl integrates well with Wayland and Xorg, is a
lightweight userspace utility and its functionality extends across
both Intel + NVIDIA and AMD + NVIDIA setups. By using switcherooctl,
users can easily select which GPU to use for specific applications
and eliminate the need for complex scripts or environment variables.<br>

For openSUSE on SkyLake with Nvidia dGPU + integrated Intel iGPU I
followed this installation and setup guide <br>

After installing the switcheroo-control package, it had to be
enabled as a service and then reboot:<br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace"> systemctl enable
switcheroo-control.service</font><br>
