[Bug 1800465] Re: Vulkan error when using NVIDIA-Prime
In general nvidia-drm.modeset=1 is required to have Nvidia PRIME enabled, which reduces (or even removes) tearing of moving images on Optimus setups. KMS - kernel mode settings, allows kernel to control video card and in Optimus setups, among other features, this allows to synchronize graphics buffers by both graphics cards - so there are no artifacts/tearing/etc, because before displaying anything on monitor buffers are fully copied from one card to another. When modeset is disabled for Nvidia driver - buffers of both graphics cards cannot be synchronized properly so sometimes images that are displayed are only partially updated and this is visible as taring or other similar artifacts (part of the screen is filled with current frame and part of the screen is filled with previous frame). The problem is that for some reason when KMS is enabled for Nvidia driver - vulkan requires root privileges to be initialized properly. After initialization for the first time (as root), it can be used with normal user privileges.

"I solved this just putting nvidia-drm.modeset=0 option into my grub config." I can confirm that this also solves the issue for me. Are there any drawbacks to use this kernel parameter?

[Bug 1800465] Re: Vulkan error when using NVIDIA-Prime
I was wrong, you don't need to update. Basically just works once when you first install on a fresh system the nvidia proprietary drivers and reboot, in the first reboot it is already using NVIDIA instead of Intel, and when this happens, all Vulkan programs are running just fine.
