Otter launcher should have context menu with GPU selection on laptop, and support for application .desktop defined entries

ClosedFeatureMedium1 votes1 commentsby Cosmo

it should have a way to choose what gpu to run the application on like on cosmic (via switcheroo-control or something custom)

if using switcheroo control it should run by default on the gpu the .desktop defines

and the context menu should also show extra entries application defined entries like firefox open private window or steam's stuff

Shipped launcher right-click menu for .desktop Actions and GPU pick.

  • otter-desktop 706629f: parse Actions / PrefersNonDefaultGPU / X-KDE-RunOnDiscreteGpu; switcheroo-control GPUs snapshot (aa{sv})
  • otter-utils 48dbd9d: spawnConfigCommandWithEnv prefixes Exec with env KEY=VALUE
  • otter-launcher c70e080: PopupMenu on app rows; default launch uses desktop GPU flag; one GPU omits GPU rows; missing switcheroo falls back to DRI_PRIME=1; empty right-click still closes

ReleaseFast tests passed. No zenith pin unless asked.
