Remove intel drivers from nvidia-disable #276

Two reasons for this change:

  • intel drivers are not updated from quite a long time (since ~2019), and modesetting is the preferred one for Intel iGPUs.
  • Technically you may want to disable NVIDIA GPUs on laptops with AMD processors too.

We don't want to pin modesetting here because it is already the default since PR: NixOS/nixpkgs#111551.

BTW, this also fixed composited desktop (e.g.: using picom) on my Dell Precision 5550 laptop (with intel drivers it was laggy and broken, with modesetting it is now working as it should).

Sounds reasonable. Just wait for the test to finish.
