Hi, Personally speaking I'm not a super fan of nvidia-prime. I think power saving on a laptop is a very important concern, and the UIX of forcing a reboot/restart of X is really not very user friendly. Given I'm not going to use it, I cannot personally commit to maintain it properly if it were to be uploaded. Having said that, if anybody would like to commit to maintain and support the package I'm very happy to discuss sponsorship and provide help in that regard. Volunteers are always welcome :-) Hopefully one day, before I retire, Nvidia will provide a supported dynamic offload functionality... There is at least talk of a server side glvnd-like implementation, so there's hope. Kind regards, Luca Boccassi
