# - This is for reference only.
# - And for fallback defaults.

# [ PREAMBLE ]
# The Optimus technology saves power on laptops by turning off the Nvidia GPU when not in use.
# However, in `optimus-manager`, all power saving features are disabled by default.
# As pretty much every laptop model requires a different method.

# [ PROCEDURE ]
# If you don't care about power, just the best ease and performance, do nothing.
# Otherwise:
# [ INSTRUCTIONS ]
# The default settings provide the best ease and performance, along with basic power savings.
# If you want even better power savings:
# 1) Have an updated live USB around, just in case.
# 2) Make a custom config only with the variables you want to change, including section headers.
# 3) Test the custom config with `optimus-manager --temp-config [FILE]`.
# 4) If it works save it into `/etc/optimus-manager/optimus-manager.conf`.
# 5) Reboot, and if the system no longer boots, use the live USB to revert the config.
# 5) Reboot.
# 6) If the system no longer boots, use `Ctrl Alt F3` or the live USB to revert the config.
