In some use cases there is a need to dynamically change the preferred primary GPU, or get rid of the preference altogether. This is currently not possible due to a change in udev introduced by systemd v247. This version made the tags "sticky", meaning there is no way to remove them once attached. When a tag gets removed, only the CURRENT_TAGS property reflects that change, the removed tag will remain in the TAGS property. This also bumps libgudev version to 238, since that version introduces a function, which we need to get the current tags.

Mutter
Mutter is a Wayland display server and X11 window manager and compositor library.
When used as a Wayland display server, it runs on top of KMS and libinput. It implements the compositor side of the Wayland core protocol as well as various protocol extensions. It also has functionality related to running X11 applications using Xwayland.
When used on top of Xorg it acts as a X11 window manager and compositing manager.
It contains functionality related to, among other things, window management, window compositing, focus tracking, workspace management, keybindings and monitor configuration.
Internally it uses a fork of Cogl, a hardware acceleration abstraction library used to simplify usage of OpenGL pipelines, as well as a fork of Clutter, a scene graph and user interface toolkit.
Mutter is used by, for example, GNOME Shell, the GNOME core user interface, and by Gala, elementary OS's window manager. It can also be run standalone, using the command "mutter", but just running plain mutter is only intended for debugging purposes.
