Same here! My old distro showed it correctly in Pop OS 22.04 Gnome. Might be a kde thing, my games are working great so i don’t think i will look at it anyway.
Maybe @manuel has an idea.
My old distro also used kde… the issue wasnt there… so thats why its very weird to me
But since my game is running fine for now, its fine for me too and just a cosmetic issue, i guess other things will work too. Imma leave this here open though since the issue isn’t really resolved and maybe someone has an idea how to fix it.
it’s just a not nice thing to look at, and doesnt have a bad aftereffect as i originally thought.
Did you install nvidia-dkms ?
While nvidia-inst it showed that it installed it..
Can’t check rn cuz I’m not at my laptop
Note that nvidia-inst has a few options that may be needed in certain cases.
Run this to see the options: nvidia-inst -h
For example for gaming option --32 is needed with nvidia-inst.
Note that currently nvidia-inst has a problem handling the open source Nvidia drivers, so if they are needed, install them manually. So nvidia-inst can provide some idea which packages should be installed but not correctly in all cases.

Hi,
Thanks the —32 command added the nvidia-settings and the dkms stuff. Still steam shows in the settings my iGPU and not my dGPU. The strange this is my games are picking up my dGPU.
Any idea how this works ? Please take a look here.
Thank you
Apparently some GPU switching program is installed and games use it?
I’m not gaming so I’m not sure which method is used there for switching. Did you install any GPU switcher?
No, this is by design (msi). I did not install anything, clean install.
sorry for late reply, i had some stuff going on…
yes, it seems i have dkms installed, else it wouldnt show up here on the removal table i guess.
also @manuel when doing --32 it wants to remove nvidia-dkms and replace it with nvidia-open-dkms just like with only nvidia-inst… i really dont know if i want that? (like why did it originally install closed-dkms and now wants the open one? why does it want to switch it around? is that normal? i have so many questions) i will leave that for now until i know what that is really doing..
Edit: i just read the post of yours from a few days ago, missed that one… but the question stands since i have like 2 different nvidia gpus the dGPU is a bit older (GTX1650Ti) and the external 3080… so idk how well that will handle since open = new, closed = old
They have updated the app.
nvidia-inst —closed
yeah i know, i stated it in the last part that i edited right after i posted it… i just wonder because of my 2 not identical graphiccards…
They are both supported
Nice, i was just on the archwiki where it said turing and newer is supported and after looking at wikipedia where it said that 1650 is turing-architecture i was like “yeah it JUST fits in xD” … yeah but that gihub link whould have been easier bc it just has a list. thanks 
nvidia-inst was recently changed to favor the driver recommended by NVIDIA.
All Turing and later GPUs are recommended to use NVIDIA’s open source driver.
That’s why both of your GPUs got nvidia-open* drivers instead of
nvidia-dkms*.
Interesting
KDE got updated, i really think it’s a issue on their end.
Installed endeavouros on my brother in laws notebook because he had windows 11 installed and was terrible slow. 1 Of his memory died and only has 4GB of ram. Endeavour is running great on it. Checked the specs and he also has the same as us.
