Wayland process working on AMD iGPU

So I have an nvidia optimus laptop and i have Nvidia GPU and an AMD iGPU and for some reason the wayland process is launching on the iGPU.
When i try X11 it smoothly works on my NVIDIA card but wayland doesn't and wayland is just lagging because the iGPU sucks how can i force launch it on nvidia gpu or fix it?

Re: Wayland process working on AMD iGPU

That's an xwayland process and on it's own somewhat irrelevant, what exactly is it you're starting and wanting to land on the nvidia gpu? The generally best way to force things to the nvidia card is if you have a UEFI level option of disabling the integrated card.
