How to use nvidia prime-run as non-sudo user?

While e.g.

sudo prime-run anyprogram

works as expected on the GPU,

running it without sudo

prime-run anyprogram

does NOT run on the GPU.

Any ideas what I could try?

Re: How to use nvidia prime-run as non-sudo user?

"Does not run" is not a usable error description.
a) what does it do?
b) how do you start X11? (xinit/startx?) Output of "loginctl session-status"?
c) please post your xorg log
