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?
