  1. Uninstall the x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers package and remove the installed NVIDIA kernel modules. This is most likely the easiest solution, since it will remove the NVIDIA kernel module that triggers the udev rule (nvidia.ko) and prevent it from returning.
  2. Blacklist the NVIDIA kernel module from loading. This can is performed different ways: kernel command-line parameters via the secondary bootloader (GRUB, systemd-boot, etc.) or adding a blacklist configuration file via modprobe.d.
  3. System administrators that want to keep the NVIDIA binary blob available for other desktop environments, but want to launch GNOME on Wayland and follow this last solution. It is simplest to manually editing the offending part of the udev rule so that gdm-disable-wayland cannot create the custom configuration file. To be safe, review Xorg's configuration files in the /etc/X11 directory to be sure NVIDIA is not being set as the primary Xorg driver. It is also a good idea to review the Xorg.0.log to double check.
