cpu : i5-8265u
gpu : MX150 UHD620
I had to use Basic Graphic Mode to install Fedora because of nvidia , after the installation was completed I found that the intel gpu driver was not enabled or installed, what should I install?
The intel GPU drivers are included with the linux kernal and the mesa library. There is nothing extra to install.
If you have nvidia gpu why are checking for intel gpu drivers?
Have you install the rpmfusion drivers to support your nvidia gpu?
See Howto/NVIDIA - RPM Fusion also note the secure boot requirements.

I suspect it was installed. lsmod | grep i915 should show it.
As recommended simply install the nvidia drivers from the rpmfusion repo (while paying attention to secure boot) and the problems should be managed.
It’s because of NVIDIA prime, on my device NVIDIA graphics is outputting the picture through Intel graphics, meaning that NVIDIA graphics can’t work independently, and after I finished installing it, system details shows software rendering
We will need details to understand what is going on.
Please show the output of inxi -Fzxx as pre-formatted text, using the </> button so that the spacing is not lost.

I fixed the formatting for you by adding:
```
triple quotes to keep spaces
```
As you can see from this section of inxi output both intel and nvidia hardware is detected and the drivers loaded.
edit: The drivers are missing!
I don’t see a driver listed for either GPU in that list. Neither the i915 for the intel or the nvidia for the MX150.
Both GPUs are seen but the drivers do not appear.
Maybe the output of sudo dmesg | grep -iE "intel|i915|nvidia|nouveau" can give us a little more info.
