Just got a hint from the dev of it to add it to the wiki and here we are!
Someone using it already ?
Test it it should be really easy to use and its a CLI tool so hurray!
Give some feedback here and any hint on improving the wiki too.
O my… I must try this 
I have been using envycontrol for year or so on various Arch-based distros without any problems. It has been around for a long time, but original creator (His name is geminis3 on github I think) has stopped development. So bayasdev on github has forked it and maintaining it now. He is very active and probably will keep the project alive for a long time.
yes he contacted me over telegram yesterday and after this i added the wikipage.
Also it is CLI it is the most easy to setup and handle solution i think.
Yeah, but I have a feeling, that article about envycontrol was already in discovery. And maybe it was through that article that I came across it. 
not at the wiki i remember it was here on the forum posted already:
I did not test, since I have no relevant hardware, but checking the code, I was wondering why “Support for EndeavourOS” was added with a commit for running dracut regenerate, while nothing about running mkinitcpio -P. 
Just mentioning for those who want to try it 
.
In addition, the dracut command is wrong. We should probably contact the dev on that.
EDIT: I just submitted a PR. That seemed easier than anything else.
EDIT 2: The PR was merged. Support for mkinitcpio is not needed according to the author.
I have him as contact on telegram if needed…
I will still get around to it today, because optimus-manager if set to autostart with nvidia, often crashes the whole system.
Unfortunately but simple in my opinion envycontrol -s nvidia, causes a black screen before logging in and freezes the system. It’s possible that I’m making a mistake because I’m installing the driver as for bumblebee, but without it.
When i use hybrid mode, then system works, but output from inxi -G

Don’t work for me
no render offloading…
bumblebee could work for this
bumblebee lately sometimes causes the system to stop shutting down for a minute and a half so I use optimus-manager. Well my hardware is already old and there is nothing to expect miracles.
Switched to EnvyControl over Optimus-Manager to manage the internal/nvidia gpus in my laptop. Using EC with Integrated mode at the moment, as Hybrid gives me a few issues, along with Nvidia mode.
For completeness: using Xorg and BSPWM and some issues are present as follows:
The top bar will fail to launch properly, not displaying any of the work spaces.
When using Hybrid/Nvidia modes, the desktop becomes unresponsive, and fails to switch between workspaces, but can access a TTY to navigate the system.
Screen resolution seems to change at times. Icons become very small (4K display), and other times the resolution is normal.
It’s driving me crazy as of why these issues are happening and cannot troubleshoot it successfully on my own.
Noteworthy to mention that there’s no Xorg conf in /etc/X11 and not sure how EnvyControl manages to switch modes when there’s no config to source at all.
But what do you guys think?
