[bazzite/nvidia] Plymouth "nvidia kernel module not loaded. Falling back to nouveau"

I switched from kinoite to bazzite with nvidia about a month ago.
With recent updates, I'm getting the message in the title during boot.

My kargs: rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau modprobe.blacklist=nouveau nvidia-drm.modeset=1 nowatchdog gpu_sched.sched_policy=0 nvidia_drm.modeset=1
