Greetings! I have a laptop with Intel integrated and Nvidia dedicated graphics chips and had G06 and SUSE Prime working for quite some time. Sometime this year that stopped working in Wayland (a few seconds into booting into Plasma would just cause the screen to freeze) but continued working in X11. So, I set it to the latter and forgot about the issue. Anyways, I am revisiting it now. It seems a new capability called Switcheroo has been developed and released since I started using SUSE Prime. I tried uninstalling the Nvidia stack and reinstalling it however I ended up booting into an environment that didn’t have the Nvidia items loaded. I can use Snapper to revert back, but I would appreciate some guidance as to what I should do before I make it worse. Please note that this graphics card will not work with G07, so I want to keep it on G06 going forward (so any tips on how to lock things appropriately would also be appreciated). I have some information below about the system before I tried the uninstall/reinstall (which was sudo rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep -e ^nvidia -e ^libnvidia | grep -v container) ; sudo zypper in nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-meta). Thank you for your help with this.
