I agree there should be a toggle if someone doesn’t require the dGPU for their multi monitor setup.
From my experience users that buy Nvidia GPUs to use Linux either require CUDA/Tensor cores. In this case they use the dGPU as headless. Even on their laptops for dev work prior to scaling up to a supercomputer.
I do, it’s the best GPU driver experience I’ve had on Linux. When I was using RADV in 2019 every simple change I had to perform was done manually via a config file/DE display settings. Including enabling variable refresh rate. Along with that I had to wait for the distro to release a kernel upgrade to get RADV updates. I hope Wayland doesn’t completely demolish nvidia-settings. It was nice having a consistent experience across all GNU distros.
If I wanted to use ROCm I was restricted to a handful of supported operating systems. With my Nvidia GPU I just need to install the Container Toolkit on any distribution to utilize CUDA.
