While it currently is Linux-specific, in principle it could be ported
to the Hurd, a BSD or Windows or whatever -- in fact, looking at
https://github.com/0xbb/gpu-switch, it appears to support ‘osx’ and
Windows.

linux.scm is more for Linux kernel modules, the Linux kernel, userspace
bindings to kernel syscalls ...

There probably are a few misplaced packages in linux.scm.

Greetings,
Maxime
