+## Note for Hybrid GPU users
+
+It's not possible to integrate commands like optirun automatically inside GameMode, since GameMode only starts if the game is already started.
+However it is possible to use a hybrid GPU wrapper like optirun by starting the game with gamemoderun.
+You can do this by setting the environment variable `GAMEMODERUNEXEC` to your wrapper's launch command, so for example `GAMEMODERUNEXEC=optirun` or `GAMEMODERUN="env DRI_PRIME=1"`.
+GameMode will not be injected to the wrapper.
