How to enable envycontrol for nvidia optimus on bazzite
I have an extension installed to get switchable graphics modes in the system menu, but it always reports "unknown" - I think this is because envycontrol is not installed? Is there any guid or something on setting up laptops with nvidia optimus switchble graphics on Bazzite? Thanks!

Hmm, maybe I don't need this. What I'm really looking for is some way to tell at a glance whether something - some app - has turned on the nvidia GPU in this laptop. In Windows, the nvidia driver comes with a tool you can enable, which puts a little indicator in the system tray. I'm looking for something like that.
use nvtop
So I got the switch working, but the drop down always reprots "unknown status" on boot up
Graphics switching seems to work fine, but the tool doesn't seem to update the status when the device changes
It's also not quite right when switching - it forces a restart, which isn't what I want.
