! About last line, i check that qtile do not use qtile-cmd anymore and qtile -cmd-obj instead.

See this solution, it worked for me https://github.com/Askannz/optimus-manager/issues/356#issuecomment-751232158

Run this command before optimus-manager: prime-offload

[nwildner]

Hello @kafkaGen .

Use the optimus-manager-git package since the current sessions.py from the master branch is using qtile cmd-obj -o cmd -f shutdown and not qtile-cmd.

This issue isn't active for the last year or so and a lot has changed in many aspects of multiple software, please keep track of optimus-manager.

Have a nice week ahead.
