Bug Description
I've got an nvidia/intel hybrid laptop. In a Wayland session nvidia-settings fails silently when started from the shell. When started from a terminal, it prints:
ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system
and then quits.

While I can certainly confirm, what is the use case?
It would seem only useful when in a wayland session to switch from the intel profile to the nvidia one before rebooting to an xorg session. I guess that could save a little time/effort.
