Hi,
I have a clean install of Fedora 36 (Cinnamon Spin) on my laptop which has an i7-4500U and a GT750M. I installed the nVidia drivers following this tutorial, and since the GPU is 700 series, installed the appropriate 470xx drivers.
Rebooted the system and I don’t see any utilization even when playing a video file.

Same in nvidia-settings, no utilization.
I tried setting the nVidia GPU as primary using this tutorial. After setting Option "PrimaryGPU" "yes"
and rebooting, the screen was black. Deleting this line from rescue resolved the issue.
How can I set the GPU to be used?
