I tried glxgear before, it will use nvidia-driver, I can see it by nvidia-smi.
Since we define our test scope using firefox to check, so I report this bug.
Or should I add firefox as impacted package and remove linux package.

the issue is not likely a kernel one, reassigning to firefox

affects:

linux (Ubuntu) → firefox (Ubuntu)

Can confirm, even with `switcherooctl launch firefox` it doesn't use the Nvidia GPU.
