How does hybrid graphics work on Linux with Wayland?

I use Manjaro, gnome. It was xorg, gdm-prime and optimus manager (all for manual forced switching of the GPU) Diskretka from green. I decided to try Wayland, turned it on, was glad, but optimus manager stopped working. Graphics without loads are drawn by Intel, so attention to the question: will there be an automatic switch to discrete under loads? How to track it? If not, are there any ways to manually switch for wayland?

The NVIDIA driver, unlike AMD and Intel, communicates with Wayland through a different API, so there can be no talk of any switching. By and large, the only way to work with hybrid green graphics is to run heavy applications through xwayland.

Not advertising for the sake of, but for a kick in the right direction. Such questions are best asked directly in the community . Fortunately, questions on hybrids in general and hatred in particular are among the most popular there.
