Hi, system/ display- manager. service. wants/nvidia- prime-boot. service
I too had the same problem and after some digging I found out that the file from which the service runs is:
/etc/systemd/
the service used vgaswitcheroo module to switch off the dGPU. However I think most of use i915 or modesetting driver which doesn't give the "vgaswitcheroo" module.
I changed my file to the attached copy.
Basically instead of using vgaswitcheroo, you can use pci/devices/ 0000:01: 00.0/power/ control' " to switch off your dGPU.
