Bumblebee VS bumblebee-Old-and-abbandoned

Have you tried Bumblebee? That and this page was helpful for me. I don't remember if Bumblebee ever worked for me, but a lot of people have success with it.

Ok, I figured out what was wrong: apparently my computer uses Nvidia Optimus which uses my Intel GPU to save power. And so I have to tell it to uses Nvidia through Bumblebee which I haven't figured out completely yet.

If I remember right, the Bumblebee project is open source for hybrid Intel/nVidia laptop GPUs. The open source drivers never gave me the problems that the proprietary nVidia drivers had. https://www.bumblebee-project.org/

This are magical parameters for me, i.e. I have 0 idea what it does in fact. I know however that this solves acpi problems with modern-ish optimus laptops: https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/issues/764

How does Bumblebee work with sway?

The Bumblebee wiki then says that you can run games by first exporting DISPLAY=:8 and then running them with primusrun or optirun as normal: https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/wiki/Multi-monitor-setup

Ah yeah, I have similar feelings.

BumbleBee was promising at one time:

But seems kind of dead now.

"not helping": posting low-effort comments that don't help with anything

"Internet famous": your repo had a bug so severe you got news articles written about it.

Both were from thinking about https://github.com/MrMEEE/bumblebee-Old-and-abbandoned/issue... …

Just a reminder that installing anything can be a roulette

(like an accidental space removed /usr once lmao)

Wiping your local filesystem is amateur stuff, you're not a real pro until you rm -rf /usr on everyone who updates your package: https://github.com/MrMEEE/bumblebee-Old-and-abbandoned/issues/123

Nvidia drivers was close: Bumblebee
