Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When I manually configure some nvidia.conf files to avoid screen flickering, Steam flatpak won't open via its .desktop file, but will if I run flatpak run com.valvesoftware.com. Doing that it will work, but very rarely and randomly out of nowhere it will sometimes start games in the iGPU instead of dGPU. Checking the log when I click the on the .desktop file in the dock:

It will get stuck and I'll have to kill the processes. I completely removed steam flatpak, used rm on the com.valvesoftware.Steam folder after the uninstall. While writing it I tested with Steam installed via DNF, and it also happens. NVIDIA Driver Version: 525.89.02 now, but I had it happen with previous ones.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Changes these files: 
    
❯ cat /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf
# Enable DynamicPwerManagement
# http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/440.31/README/dynamicpowermanagement.html
options nvidia NVreg_DynamicPowerManagement=0x03
options nvidia_drm modeset=1

❯ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf Section "OutputClass" Identifier "nvidia" MatchDriver "nvidia-drm" Driver "nvidia" Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration" Option "SLI" "Auto" Option "BaseMosaic" "on" Option "PrimaryGPU" "yes" EndSection

Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "layout" Option "AllowNVIDIAGPUScreens" EndSection

this one probably not related, but as I changed it...

❯ cat /etc/dracut.conf.d/nvidia.conf add_drivers+=" nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_drm " install_items+=" /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf 


2. Restart;
3. Open Steam flatpak via its .desktop file on the dock;
