Replace bumblebee with optimus-manager

… what ?

bumblebee is one, and an old deprecated one at that, way of providing the nvidia dGPU to a hybrid system.
Optimus-manager is a tool for switching between the iGPU and dGPU that Relies on technology like bumblebee to actually do that.
Besides which optimus-manager is absolute garbage.
It requires you to make hacky edits to your Display Manager.
And even then its … kinda broken and abandoned until a new maintainer took it up recently.
But its still hot trash.

And such ‘switcher’ utilities are almost never actually needed.
PRIME provides instance access with prime-run … and most people with hybrid systems dont actually want to be using one card or the other exclusively.
“hybrid” mode is what you get already without any switcher tool.

(The majority of people who ask about these things are under the mistaken impression that something like optimus-manager is required to use their more powerful card with a hybrid system … this is incorrect)

IF you actually need one for some reason … then use a reasonable one like envycontrol.

I’ll extrapolate your suggestion to a more basic "also list switcher utilities in mhwd/MSM’.

I’m of mixed feelings about mentioning/providing excess utilities in mhwd or MSM.
First and foremost - they arent drivers. mhwd is for drivers.
On the other hand it could be convenient (or enlightening) for some.
But at the same time … we already have a problem with people randomly installing all available entries there … so adding yet more (arguably unrelated) options there has a high propensity for creating more problems than it solves.

PS.
You should not be using bumblebee in any way, shape, or form if you have the ability to use PRIME.
