Switch between Nvidia and Intel GPU with Nvidia PRIME (Optimus equivalent for Linux)
- Laptop with Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU (Optimus) - Tested on MSI GE60-0NC
- Linux distribution - Tested on Linux Mint 18
- Up-to-date Nvidia proprietary driver - Tested on nvidia-361
- Root/sudo permissions
Execute the shell script or create a keybord shorcut to launch the script directly (like the "turbo" button on MSI laptops for instance). You can choose nv-switch.sh to confirm the choice after launching the script or you can choose "nv-switch_no-prompt.sh" to switch the gpu and logout directly (the best choice for a keybord shortcut)
- FR
- EN (TODO)
- Your language here ?
If you want to translate the script, copy an existing folder (preferably fr or en) and rename the new folder with your language code ( ISO 639-1 ) Translate the scripts, test it if you can and finally submit your Pull request.
Bug reports and suggestions are also welcome !
