FWIW, but I'm also experiencing the issue and I recall reading (I can't
remember where) that the Thunderbolt port on the left end of my laptop
is directly wired to the NVIDIA GPU, even when Optimus is enabled. This
is not the case for other USB-C ports on my laptop.

This seems to be verified by the fact that, on X11, attaching a display
to the Thunderbolt port also makes it show up in the NVIDIA control
panel, which shows a reduced view and feature set - because it is acting
as secondary GPU. The main laptop display is also not shown there, as it
is being handled by the Intel GPU.
