Description

Optimus Manager can be controlled from a Qt tray interface for configuring and switching GPUs on compatible laptops. It is useful for users who prefer a graphical control surface over terminal commands.

GPU mode changes can require logout, affect displays, or break graphical sessions if the driver stack is misconfigured. Confirm Optimus Manager works before relying on the tray tool.

How to run

optimus-manager-qt.desktop
