"""Displays and changes the current selected prime video card

Left click will call 'sudo prime-select nvidia'
Right click will call 'sudo prime-select nvidia'

Running these commands without a password requires editing your sudoers file
(always use visudo, it's very easy to make a mistake and get locked out of your computer!)

sudo visudo -f /etc/sudoers.d/prime

Then put a line like this in there:

    user    ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/prime-select

If you can't figure out the sudoers thing, then don't worry, it's still really useful.

Parameters:
    * prime.nvidiastring: String to use when nvidia is selected (defaults to 'intel')
    * prime.intelstring: String to use when intel is selected (defaults to 'intel')

Requires the following executable:
    * prime-select
