Title:
Prime Profiles page could be better
Status in nvidia-settings package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
There are 4 possibly problem points, placement, names, tooltips, help.
The 1st 3 are somewhat linked.
The new profile, NVIDIA On-Demand is currently placed between the 2 previous
& historical ones of NVIDIA.. & Intel..
The placement and name could lead one to believe that it's an app on demand
or as needed similar to how optimus works in windows. This is clearly not the
case & if picked produces a degraded experience for most users..
It should be the 3rd listed profile and if possible named more towards it's
actual use case.
There previously were 2 tooltips on hover, currently there still are just 2,
the one designed for Intel now exposes only when hovered over NVIDIA On-Demand,
hovering over Intel produces nothing
NVIDIA On-Demand should get it's own tooltip.
The Help button popup shows no info on what NVIDIA On-Demand is about
or for, considering the vast majority of users should not use that
profile it should be described, ect.
