I do not exclude such a possibility, but I suppose since I definitely have 2 video cards, then there are problems 2. I opened a separate topic on i915: # 1964090.

But I would like to make sure that what you say is true. regarding the dependence of the display on intel.

I may not have enough information, but it seems to me that I can definitely turn off the 915 driver and at the same time I can continue to work in the tty`s console.

although there may be information confirming your words. so for example when X starts on i915 then in the logs there is

[ 839.172] (--) intel(0): Output eDP1 using initial mode 1920x1080 on pipe 0
[ 839.172] (--) intel(0): Output HDMI1 using initial mode 1920x1080 on pipe 1
..
[ 840.294] (II) intel(0): Modeline "1920x1080"x0.0 368.14 1920 1968 2000 2102 1080 1090 1095 1216 -hsync -vsync (175.1 kHz eP)
[ 840.294] (II) intel(0): Modeline "1920x1080"x0.0 153.40 1920 1968 2000 2102 1080 1090 1095 1216 -hsync -vsync (73.0 kHz e)

but when running without i915, I did not find similar lines for nvidia but have a
[ 1327.768] (WW) NVIDIA(0): Unable to get display device for DPI computation.
it maybe:
1. I made a mistake with the settings xorg
2. software bug
3
. your option is that it won’t work at all without intel
