TLDR I lack the expertise to keep developing optimus-manager, and that's why it hasn't been actively developed for a while My test hardware is pretty old at this point and doesn't reflect modern Optimus laptops I'm looking to hand over the project to a new maintainer, if anyone is interested In the meantime I'll keep the project working to the extent that I can

There’s also the question of Wayland support, which people have been asking for for some time. At this point X11 is clearly on the way out, but Wayland is such a different beast I wouldn’t even know where to begin. I suppose I could copy Ubuntu’s implementation once more, but it would likely need a significant rewrite and again I would only be able to test it on my aging hardware.

It's all explained there, I just checked back hoping for any changes also.

See #543 for the general discussion regarding optimus-manager

See #452 to keep up with the main Wayland thread here.

Closing as duplicate of the later. Feel free to participate in that other thread
