Optimus laptop programs can be started on the discrete GPU while handling power management for Xorg and Wayland sessions. This helps users choose GPU acceleration for specific workloads without logging out.

This is a hardware-selection utility. It can affect battery use, heat, performance, and GPU power state, so it is best for users who understand hybrid graphics behavior.
