Description

Hybrid-graphics laptops can switch dedicated Nvidia graphics through a kernel module variant that also targets AMD integrated graphics setups. It is useful for advanced users managing power and GPU availability on Optimus-style laptops.

GPU switching modules affect kernel behavior, power state, and display hardware. Use only on supported models and keep a recovery path if graphics fail after loading the module.
