feat: Gaming on NVIDIA is not offered any more, the SteamOS conversion covers NVIDIA PCs
The conversion installs the patched gamescope on every NVIDIA PC and sets up the kernel parameters, suspend memory and 32-bit libraries on a supported card; it turns off an existing Gaming on NVIDIA.

# Gaming on NVIDIA PCs: the SteamOS conversion (gamescope session) isn't offered there, because gamescope's DRM session shows a
# corrupted picture on NVIDIA (NVIDIA's open bug 5240452: modes above 2560x1440@120). `nvidia` is the replacement: Steam on the
# Plasma desktop, installed when missing and started at login; `bigpicture` (a sub-option) makes it start in Big Picture.
# On a supported card (RTX 20 series or newer, `nvidia_supported`) it also sets up what NVIDIA's Wayland/DRM stack wants:
# nvidia-drm.modeset=1 and fbdev=1 on the kernel command line and the NVIDIA modules in the initramfs. That didn't cure
# gamescope's picture (the driver already reported both `Y`), but it is the standard setup and may be needed.
# Sourced by steamify.sh; not meant to be run on its own.
