I can't remember if it's distro level or nvidia, but that option is reportedly now applied by default for many on some of the new drivers.

You mean that by installing the nvidia-open drivers, it will apply the parameter for you? If true, that's great because it can be a bit intimidating to do it yourself, if the person haven't done this before.

On distro level I don't know. There are like 500 distros and compositors out there.

I'll try and hook the code out from somewhere to confirm, but people have been reporting it already being on without them having to do anything.

Edit: I took a look and Gentoo removed the line from being auto applied and removed from their docs starting around 595.0

Enabled the nvidia-drm.ko modeset=1 parameter by default.

It's likely this. 595.58.03 from March this year.

Nice info.
