The unfortunate thing about wayland rendering (I asked some wayland guys) is that the client gets to decide which gpu to use, not the compositor.

but this is fortunate, client knows better

Yeah but the issue I see is that clients can choose not to respect your GPU settings, so I don't think it'd be possible to set powersaving intel gpu system-wide or nvidia gpu system-wide

Yes, but actually you see what gpu is used by the wayland server, and by default you use it.

Well, the same things are possible for clients today on open source drivers, and they don't fuck the GPU settings, so I guess we'll be fine with Wayland as well.

you could allow only respectful clients on your system
