modesetting and nvidia drivers in my system. I have a hybrid graphics scenario where I use my intel drivers by default and for any apps or games that I must run on my nvidia card I use the prime render offload. I haven’t set this up myself it came as the default when I installed garuda.
Dont’ know why the situation is different for you. Does your intel chip not provide integrated graphics?
I can check my respective graphics card usage with the following commands.
- for nvidia
nvidia-smi
- for intel integrated
sudo intel_gpu_top
(You need intel-gpu-tools for this one).
By default with no processes running on my nvidia GPU it looks like this on nvidia-smi
nvidia-smi

Offloading any processes to this GPU will add them to it’s list on processes like my steam games that I launch with prime-run %command%
PS: I haven’t checked if the plymouth-git package works for me so I guess I can do that and see if having modesetting enabled helps.
