don't specify prime-run, some processes still run on the NVIDIA

with wayland, kde, 4060laptop

Below is the output of my nvidia-smi command.
The kwin_wayland process is due to my use of an external screen, and the last two processes are browser processes.

Re: don't specify prime-run, some processes still run on the NVIDIA

What are you specifically asking about? the DBUS menu proxies are to be able to show you notifications and menus from applications and the like. You could try: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Waylan … IA_modules but seeing as you want to use an external screen you probably don't want to export that globally, but on demand for misbehaving applications. See also https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 7#p2094847 for some further context -- note the comments there, that chromium/electron based will look at and start on the nvidia GPU (as well) regardless.
