A new project that promises to automatically swap Nvidia or AMD/ATI proprietary video drivers during the boot process of any GNU/Linux distribution that uses the controversial systemd system and service manager. Called gpu-driver-swap, the project can be easily installed on any Linux kernel-based and systemd-based operating system. The only requirement, besides systemd, is the proprietary video driver for Nvidia or AMD graphics cards.
