Sorry for the late reply.
So after reading your suggestion I experimented a bit with loginctl
, and almost bricked my computer 😅
Turns out Linux is really not happy when you attach one of your GPUs to a different seat while using it. And apparently the change is persistent, so even after rebooting the computer, I couldn't use my GPU until I reattached it to the default seat. Be careful if you try it yourself.
Anyway, thank you for your suggestion. It's definitely an interesting feature that I didn't know about. But I don't think it could really help with Optimus. If I understand correctly, your idea is to have two seats and one GPU attached to each seat ?
That's not going to work because the built-in screen of your laptop is hardwired to the Intel GPU. So the Nvidia seat would need access to both GPUs, or else it wouldn't be able to render anything to the built-in screen.
It could work if you plug in an external monitor, though. Assuming both seats can use the same mouse and keyboard (or if you are willing to plug in additional ones). It'd essentially be like having two computers into one, which does not really offer an advantage over nvidia-xrun (aside from driver stability maybe).

Sorry to here that it almost bricked you computer. That really sucks. You got it right I was thinking starting two seats with one attached to the GPU. I keep forgetting that the display is hardwired to the Intel GPU. Well it was an idea that failed. I'm going to keep using optimus-manager anyways it seems to working really well for me. Thanks for the work on this project.

Haha don't worry, it's not your fault. No damage done.
Well, closing this issue for now, thanks for your input.
