Hi. I just wonder what I am doing wrong. I have notebook with integrated graphics and NVIDIA graphic card. I make clean installation of Endeavour there with Gnome desktop, + zen kernels. When installation is finished, GDM gives me two options for login session - Gnome (wayland) and Gnome on XORG. I login to wayland, edit /etc/default/grub to add ibt=off nvidia_drm.modeset=1 parameters and run grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg. Then I install nvidia-dkms package and reboot the system. Now GDM does not give me any options regarding login session and when I login, it is XORG session. Is there a way to make this work with wayland as well? What am I doing wrong or what other steps I need to do? Thanks

Have a look at the following thread and see if the solution there would work for you as well:

It did help. I knew and forgot about that gdm.rules, didn’t know about kms-modifiers. Now I have my choice back and I can run wayland session. One more thing now is that when I start any new application (chrome for example), it is not run on nvidia card. When I run chrome and then see nvidia-smi, there is this:

Is there a way to enforce any new window/software/whatever to run on nvidia card?
I am not an Nvidia user so I couldn’t help you with that.
Since your original issue stated in OP is resolved, I suggest to mark the post giving you the solution as such and then open a new thread for the new inquiry with a proper heading to attract proper attention.
