  • nvidia-optimus-kill

    A tool to easily end all processes pinned to the discrete GPU on an Nvidia Optimus laptop, thus allowing it to switch the dGPU off.

    • nvidia-optimus-kill by GitHub user eduojeda: Finds processes that are currently utilizing the dGPU and restarts them. Useful after you unplug an external monitor from your laptop and there are still processes running on your GPU. Actually works in my experience

  • ExplorerPatcher

    This project aims to enhance the working environment on Windows

    • W11 doesn't support toolbars which is why BatteryBar can't install onto the taskbar. I'm using ExplorerPatcher to bring back the old small taskbar and BatteryBar installs fine.

  • InfluxDB
