** Description changed: GNOME Shell 3.24 introduces a "Launch using Dedicated Graphics Card" feature (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=773117). However it missing in Ubuntu due lack of switcheroo-control in repositories. This is useful because several computers have both an integrated graphics card (which uses less power) and a dedicated graphics card (which may perform better for gaming or other intensive apps). gnome-control-center also uses switcheroo-control (if present) to fill in more information about the graphics cards in the Info panel. + + http://www.hadess.net/2016/10/dual-gpu-integration-in-gnome.html https://blogs.gnome.org/uraeus/2016/11/01/discrete-graphics-and-fedora- workstation-25/ https://github.com/hadess/switcheroo-control License: GPL-3+ This package might be maintained by the Debian GNOME team if they are interested. Otherwise, it will still probably be maintained in Debian once GNOME 3.24 is packaged there.
