I tried installing the Nvidia drivers by following these links :
https://docs.01.org/clearlinux/latest/tutorials/nvidia.html
https://community.clearlinux.org/t/has-anyone-successfully-installed-nvidia-driver-to-optimus-enabled-laptops/1431/14

First I tried it on the 32010 version. That failed to boot to graphical login and when I check the Xorg log it seems like it doesn't use the configs in /etc/X11/.

Then I tried it on 30800 because I think that version was available at the time of this thread https://community.clearlinux.org/t/has-anyone-successfully-installed-nvidia-driver-to-optimus-enabled-laptops/1431/14. It works on that build but when I update it to 32010 it fails to boot to graphical login. This is the Xorg log for this scenario:xorg2.log

The only thing that sticks out is this:

[     2.903] (EE) modeset(G0): eglGetDisplay() failed
[     2.903] (EE) modeset(G0): glamor initialization failed

Apparently disabling Wayland in GDM fixes this issue. Reference : https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/NVIDIA/Optimus#Gnome_Display_Manager_.28GDM.29.
