Public bug reported:
The new prime-select has some problems.
It is very slow to switch, since it does initramfs -u each time
It leaves my two optimus laptops without graphics if you leave it in
prime-select intel but boot with discrete nvidia. Previously this would load
nvidia drivers.
These are both two bad 'regressions' in the user experience, the first
for everyone, the second for those how have a hardware mux.
I know there is bug in logind meaning that a restart is required to poweroff
the nvidia card.
But this is not new, right? What has happened between 17.10 and 18.04 that has
required this dramatic change? Is it now broken to use debian alternatives?
