Linux Mint's GPU switcher allows for switching from integrated to nvidia with a logout
Pop!OS GPU switcher allows for switching from integrated to nvidia with a reboot
With envycontrol, it is only possible to switch to nvidia while in hybrid.
Attempting to switch from integrated results in:
$ sudo envycontrol -s nvidia
Switching to nvidia mode
Enable ForceCompositionPipeline: False
Enable Coolbits: False
Successfully enabled nvidia-persistenced.service
ERROR: Could not find Nvidia GPU
Try switching to hybrid mode first!
Describe the solution you'd like
Being able to switch from integrated -> nvidia and back without switching to hybrid, rebooting, then switching to nvidia.
Describe alternatives you've considered
It's not a deal breaker so I can live with it if there is a technical blocker preventing this feature.
