Using RTX 2050 on Fedora kinoite
I am using Fedora Kinoite and quickly installed nvidia drivers, but when I launch an application with DRI_PRIME=1 it tries to use compute graphics. I had accidentally installed the cuda drivers along with the normal ones, but then removed them. I have tried with just the normal drivers, both normal and cuda, as well as only cuda.
If anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated.

Atomic OS's (especially Fedora based) with Nvidia are going to be a bit of a pain. Did you follow all the instructions found Here ? I personally gave up on silverblue/kinoite after I tried Bazzite. Similar bases, but the Bazzite devs paid special attention to GPU and accessory drivers/implementations that are otherwise much more painful in Fedora Atomics. You can always do a clean rebase then re-run the steps above (only the OSTree section).
Yeah those are the steps I followed.
I have used bazzite before and it worked well, I just recently reinstalled fedora after using Windows for a month or so (Thought I would need it for class, but my teacher is okay with us doing our work on Linux so yay)
I will probably just rebase than
You could try to rebase to the universal blue Aurora version. I believe the ublue images are generally a bit more focused on end user and driver support.
Aurora - kde
Bluefin - gnome
Bazzite - gaming
