About switcheroo-control

From Debian's package description

For systems that have both an integrated GPU and a dedicated GPU, this package by default will force the integrated GPU to be used to save power.

You can launch individual apps using the dedicated GPU by running them with the environment variable DRI_PRIME=1. Or you can right-click on the app (while it's not running) in GNOME Shell's Activities Overview and choose the "Launch using Dedicated Graphics Card" option.

If this default behavior is not appropriate, uninstall this package or set xdg.force_integrated=0 as a kernel command-line option in your bootloader.
