Thanks everyone for giving me new input, I really appreciate your support!
I seem to have both mhwd-nvidia 570.133.07-2 and nvidia-550xx-dkms 550.144.03-1 on my system. Installing prime-run via sudo pacman -S nvidia-prime worked out fine. Running DaVinci Resolve with prime-run succesfully starts the program, but it crashes due to being unable to use the nvidia GPU:
GPU Initialization Failed
DaVinci Resolve could not initialize OpenGL. Please ensure that the latest graphics drivers are installed
Since the 550xx driver and utils doesn’t seem to function I removed them and instead installed the newest drivers supporting the prime-run function: Successfully installed video-hybrid-amd-nvidia-prime:
mhwd -li
> Installed PCI configs:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME VERSION FREEDRIVER TYPE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
video-linux 2024.05.06 true PCI
video-hybrid-amd-nvidia-prime 2025.01.13 false PCI
Warning: No installed USB configs!
I ran sudo reboot and tested if the driver was initialized successfully:
nvidia-smi
No devices were found
@soundofthunder Thanks for pointing this out - I lost the snippet in the process of resetting my system to a fresh installation and will take precautions to avoid that in the future. I made sure to look into threads with similar issues and the Stable Update 2025-03-24 from where I got my first basic knowledge as a complete beginner with Linux. Unfortunately after a week of troubleshooting I wasn’t able to resolve the issue on my own which led me here.
Updated system info as suggested by soundofthunder:
