+Description: D-Bus service to check the availability of dual-GPU
+ For systems that have both an integrated GPU and a dedicated GPU, this
+ package by default will force the integrated GPU to be used to save power.
+ .
+ You can launch individual apps using the dedicated GPU by running them
+ with the environment variable DRI_PRIME=1. Or you can right-click on the
+ app (while it's not running) in GNOME Shell's Activities Overview
+ and choose the "Launch using Dedicated Graphics Card" option.
+ .
+ If this default behavior is not appropriate, uninstall this package or
+ set xdg.force_integrated=0 as a kernel command-line option in your
+ bootloader.
