eGPUs on Linux - Unleashing External Graphics Power

I spent some time, ok 16 hours+ working on getting my first eGPU to work on Linux, my goal was to be able to use both graphics processors (NViDIA eGPU and Intel Meteor-Lake GPU) to work together on Linux. I started with Fedora KDE , failed....tried Kubuntu, failed again and finally tried EndeavourOS...which also failed....why? After 16 hours I gave up on X.org and went over to Wayland by installing the wayland session package on EndeavourOS (KDE). And...here are my results:
