How can I confirm my new graphics card is installed correctly?

So everything looks right.

When you want to use the beefier dGPU call it with DRI_PRIME=1

Special case for steam … dont launch steam itself with prime.

Instead edit each game launch options to be (assuming no other options):

DRI_PRIME=1 %command%

PS.

You have no SWAP. When you reach the limits of your physical RAM the system will lock up.
You have many options for SWAP, but I generally suggest zram these days.
