Load nouveau at boot for secondary gpu
Figured out that having two active NVIDIA gpu's can cause org.mozilla.firefox to not launch with the following error: [GFX1-]: More than 1 GPU from same vendor detected via PCI, cannot deduce device
I imagine this is just one of the many problems this cofig would cause.

Understood. I'm going to stress test how I'm doing it now out of curiosity to see how it breaks, but ultimately I'll plan on either passing the second GPU to a VM or just buying another non-nvidia card

Ahh ok, so even though it 'looks' like it's working there's something very wrong about it that I can't see

Confirmed. I'm going to look into a way to run nouveau.service after login.

Changing WantedBy to default.target and re-enabling (and deleting the old symlink from multi-user.target.wants) and now the module is loaded at boot. BUT there is a lot of instability now that I don't believe was present when I ran the command manually. I'm going to keep testing to confirm.

Adding an [Install] section to nouveau.service that contains WantedBy=multi-user.target allowed me to run systemctl enable nouveau.conf, but the module still isn't being loaded at boot. I'll keep working on it

Creating nouveau.service and running 'systemctl start nouveau.service' does load the module correctly, but this doesn't happen on it's own at boot. systemctl enable nouveau.service compalins that the service doesn't have any installation config and thus isn't meat to be enabled or disabled with systemctl. I'll keep working on how to correct that.

It seems like the systemd service specifically calls out WHEN to load the module, which seems better than just whenever cron runs, which maybe is after boot is complete?

I thought about just creating a cron job to run modprobe nouveau for me. Is creating a systemd service a less jankey way to do basically the same thing?

The contents of nouveau.conf is simply 'nouveau'. I tried nouveau.ko also
