✨ NVIDIA-Hyprland notes:

• kindly note, on configs I added all the nvidia variables from Hyprland wiki Link but by default they are not enabled. I've had issues like OBS not recording, or intermittent crashing etc, on my laptop. Check the ~/.config/hypr/configs/exec.conf and uncomment one by one to try. You can read through Hyprland-Wiki for some guidance.
