[Solved] Run programs/games on nvidia, Xorg on integrated graphic.

Hi, I have laptop with Intel core i7 11800H and RTX 3070, I wanted to run games/programs like MultiMC (Minecraft launcher), Cyberpunk 2077 (Steam or Wine), programs on Wine on nvidia, and xorg + rest of the system on integrated graphics. I read arch-wiki about nvidia-prime, optimus-manager and more but I am still not sure what I am supposed to do. I've installed proprietary nvidia driver (nouveau doesn't support 3070 yet), and nvidia-prime but I don't know how to start programs that have their own launcher like above, or how to disable nvidia for Xorg, and only run it on integrated graphic.

Re: [Solved] Run programs/games on nvidia, Xorg on integrated graphic.

prime-run just sets some environment variables and that's all it takes.
So "prime-run steam" should™ run steam on the nvidia GPU and sub-processed (the games) will inherit the environment.

Sorry for late reply, it's working now I just reinstalled nvidia, installed nvidia-prime and mesa and it works. I only need to do some config on programs like MultiMC so they work with prime-run. Xorg starts with intel and not nvidia drivers.
