Updating Nvidia drivers will break the script. Look into using either a search pattern, or make use of update-alternatives.

Should be relatively simple given that the meat of the program is in gpuswap.sh.

If there is no discrete GPU plugged in then the system fails. If an Intel adapter is detected then we should load the stock Intel config.

When running the command: systemctl status gpu-driver-swap.service

Hi,
I found your project reading softpedia news and thought it will solve my need:
namely with a system with a NV GPU and AMD GPU installed ability to select which binary driver to use..
your tool is good if you keep changing installed GPUs but I would like to select which GPU from GRUB menu as said..
I don't know so much about Linux still so can you add support for this?
thanks..

Hi, it seems you have a highly similar project to my own, which uses a predefined system to separate the GL links into known locations:

https://github.com/solus-project/gl-driver-switch

Perhaps there is room for merging of concepts here?
