Score: 5.8/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 7, Documentation: 6, Utility: 6)

A Rust port of the switcheroo-control daemon and CLI tool for managing hybrid graphics on Linux laptops. It reimplements the D-Bus interface and GPU monitoring in Rust, offering an alternative to the original C implementation with modern concurrency and safety. The project is interesting for its use of udev and ioctl probing to identify discrete GPUs, and for providing a user-friendly CLI.

Target audience: backend devs, devops
