gnome-egpu

Tool to switch between iGPU and eGPU on Gnome Wayland

Dependencies:

  • libgudev-1.0
  • libglib2.0

Installation:

$ cargo install gnome-egpu

Instructions:

To set up the initial udev rule:

# gnome-egpu setup

To then switch:

  • Power off computer, plug/unplug eGPU, turn on computer. GDM will attempt to use eGPU, falls back to iGPU.
  • OR: run # gnome-egpu setup each time you want to switch, selecting the desired GPU.

To-Do:

  • # gnome-egpu pup --- monitors udev changes for eGPU and restarts GDM instantly
  • # gnome-egpu auto --- sets up udev rule to trigger GDM restart automatically
