installation of bbswitch by default?
Hi, I noticed that bbswitch and bbswitch kernel modules seem to get installed by default, even if no bumblebee/optimus chipset is present (Tumbleweed) Whats the rationale behind? Feels more like a bug.... Cheers Axel

For any default choice there will always be someone who does not agree with this particular choice. bbswitch is about power saving so it sounds logical that it is recommends by tlp. If you do not need it, you can override it. Do you have suggestion how to reliably detect bumblebee/optimus chipset?

I do not see anything related to bbswitch in TLP and bbswitch to my best knowledge has nothing to do with batteries. This indeed starts sounding like a bug.

No. Just implicit - see if prime-select is installed ;-) Cheers Axel

Well, suse-prime no longer has a "Recommends" for bbswitch. I was forced to remove it. See https://github.com/openSUSE/SUSEPrime/issues/70 for more details. So I wouldn't recommend to install it on any system automatically. I suggest to open a bugreport ...
