PSA: Use integrated graphics to save VRAM of nvidia GPU

All modern mobiles CPUs and many desktop ones too have integrated graphics. While iGPUs are useless for gaming and AI you can use them to run desktop apps and save precious VRAM for cuda tasks. Just connect display to motherboard output and done. You will be surprised how much VRAM modern apps eat, especially on Windows.

This is the end result with all desktop apps launched, dozen of browser tabs etc.

I have appended `nvidia_drm.modeset=0` to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in `/etc/default/grub` but this should not be strictly necessary. Apparently there should be ridiculously complicated way to forbid Xorg from ever touching the GPU but I am fine with 4 Mb wasted.
