Description

Compositors have long relied on ignoring additional GPUs on a system as far as they can, while application configuration is left to users with obscure environment variables and config files.

We propose a new service with dynamic configuration and policies similar to what other OSes provide already and accompanying changes to desktop environments and compositors to finally allow deterministic and user-visible gpu selection.
