Bug Description

gnome-shell needs switcheroo-control in order to determine if the system has a hybrid graphics configuration, so it displays the option to use dedicated graphics card when the user right-clicks on an application, and so it displays the name of the dedicated GPU in System Settings > Details.

This package is missing from the fresh install of 18.04, and probably older releases as well.
It can be installed by the user with the command: sudo apt install switcheroo-control , but it should be installed by default considering its importance.
