how do I force CachyOS to use my dGPU as Primary in all apps, etc.

I tried blacklisting the iGPU, but it causes artifacting on external screen

I tried disabling iGPU through BIOS but CachyOS doesn't seem to respect that choice in the same way as Windows does (it still defaults apps, games etc. to iGPU)

disabled from BIOS but OS still sees and uses the device primarily
