@Alberto, couldn't prime-select do this when going into hybrid or Optimus mode? Only users with nvidia hybrid graphics would go down this logic path, and they are only ones who need the fix (but only if they are using gdm3, sddm and lightdm continue to be unaffected by this)

The set of users who "need" this fix are gdm3 users with hybrid Nvidia graphics (where "need" = want tear-free graphics on their laptop panel if Optimus, or on all displays if it's something like a T-series Thinkpad where the nvidia card has no direct access to any display).
