Hello,
I got notification:
(4/9) Orphaned package notification...
xf86-video-intel 1:2.99.917+916+g31486f40-2
I not sure if I can really remove this package since my system use Intel graphics:
OS: Garuda Linux
Host: HP 80FD
Kernel: 5.17.1-zen1-1-zen
Uptime: 39 days 11 hours 38 mins
Packages: 1359 (pacman)
Shell: bash
DE: Plasma 5.24.4
WM: KWin

Terminal: konsole

Fastfetch, paleofetch, why?
We need
garuda-inxi
Read the template, before you delete the text, please.
Yes, you can, and then you’d switch to the more modern modesetting driver which is the better choice in 95% of cases.
xf86-video-intel seems to still be in the Arch repos. I am not sure why you are seeing it as orphaned. 
EDIT: Because it is an orphaned repo package, not an orphaned AUR package.
Maybe it was in chaotic-aur before?
pacman -Qi xf86-video-intel
The package is only needed if you run 1st/2nd Gen Intel-only cards. Later cards do not need it.
If one looks in MHWD you can see that, though the driver is installed you are still running in modesetting which is where you want to be, anyway.
Trying to remove it with pacman generates a lot of ominous warnings because it is part of Garuda's video conf settings. This method should probably not be used. However you can remove it using MHWD and no other irrelevant packages will be removed.
It's one of those things where users need to know their video card and drivers versus what gets installed by rota.
It used to be brought in as a dependency of mhwd; it was recently changed so it's not a dep any more (so it's a local orphan rather than an upstream orphan).
Ah. Sometimes I wish we had different terms to describe local orphans and AUR orphans which have completely different meanings.
Sorry…

xf86-video-intel didn't work with wayland on second monitor.
I removed it and I fixed it.
Now my Intel graphics works better.
ok done, and rebooted... it working... What about modesetting... do not know what it is... should I install via Garuda Setting Manger? (screenshot above)
Thats it you are done if it all works
