I have a hydrid gpu: intel + nvidia. But since nvidia binary randomly causes ui glitches I wanted to try using only intel. I do not play games on linux and so I will not be missing nvidia.
I removed intel-nvidia-prime and installed video-linux:
Everything appears to be fine except the boot experience. I seem to have lost the boot splash. Instead I only see a black screen post grub and until the login screen. (I do see a nice boot splash when the system shutsdown though)
Did not change anything else in grub or mkinitcpio config.
