For the last 6 months or so I have been using Garuda without problem in my laptop's Dynamic Graphics mode (i.e. Hybrid Graphics). Today I tried switching to Discrete Graphics mode in the Bios, and I can't get any graphical environment to load. It freezes at the splash screen and never loads the login manager. I am able to switch to another TTY, but I can't start any X or Wayland sessions. Looking at /dev, I don't see any GPU's listed, and the /dev/dri folder is absent, so I suspect it is a driver loading issue.
I have a fresh vanilla Arch install on another partition that boots in Discrete Graphics mode with no issue. I checked the nvidia related settings in my grub and mkinitcpio and tried to match up Garuda's settings so what I set in arch, but no dice. Any ideas?
Btw, the garuda-inxi output listed below was run in Dynamic mode with a working system. I'm not in a position to reboot now, but I will re-run in Discrete mode later and post output.
❯ sudo garuda-inxi

But... why? Why not just use the officially supported "hybrid mode" as you call it?
I've found a Wayland compositor (Hyprland) that I really like, and I'm trying to get it to the point where I can use it as my daily-driver. The one deal-breaker is that I can't get multiple monitors working with wlroots in Hybrid mode. I found out while tinkering in vanilla Arch that Hyprland/wlroots works perfectly in Discrete mode, but I can't get Garuda to launch in that mode.
This seems very warm for the fan to not be kicking on. Is that right?
This seems like a good idea to me. What do you mean by “no dice”? What differences did you find, or were they exactly the same?
What kernel is your Arch install running?
Running hot because I've got Final Fantasy XIV running in the background. Fans are definitely on. I don't think fan reporting works on my system.
mkinitcpio didn't have nvidia kernel modules loading in garuda, so I added nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_dmr to mkinitcpio.conf. Grub didn't have anything that seemed relevant. Adding the Nvidia modules in Garuda didn't change the situation.
Running linux-zen on both installs.
For the record, here is the MODULES part of my mkinitcpio.confMODULES=(nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm crc32c-intel intel_agp i915 amdgpu radeon nouveau)
I added the nvidia modules in Garuda in my troubleshooting. My arch install ony has the nvidia modules loading. And for grub:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash rd.udev.log_priority=3 vt.global_cursor_default=0 systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=1 loglevel=3"
Arch only has loglevel=3 quiet

I would remove all those unnecessary modules. It doesn’t seem like it would prevent your system from coming up, but then again they are obviously not helping so it might be worth a shot.
Are they both on the same kernel version? Same graphics driver? Are they both booting to SDDM?
This could be a clue–you could peel off the other parameters to test–but then again it could be a red herring. If you remove a module and it doesn’t fix the issue I would put it back. I’m honestly not sure I understand what the cgroup parameter is doing, but at least half of those modules are related to quiet boot functions; it seems unlikely they would break anything either way, but you never know.

Alright, I figured this out. Turns out this was caused by optimus-manager or one of it's dependencies. Replacing garuda-optimus-manager-config with garuda-nvidia-prime-config resolved the issue. Optimus manager doesn't work in wayland sessions anyway, so not a big loss.
