Hi, I just completely switched from windows and have been using linux manjaro for a week, been playing dota for a week but have been getting below 20-50 FPS on lowest quality as I am using my built-in AMD Vega 8 GPU.
I tried installing nvidia-390xx from mhwd, but lightdm will always fail to start and I have to uninstall nvidia-390xx again to be able to get into DE.
Here is my inxi -Fxza --no-host:

I do not know how to make my Nvidia 1050 mobile GPU to be working, and needed help.
Do note also that my function keys for display brightness does not work and I need to right-click my battery manager to change my brightness.
Any sort of help is appreciated, Thanks!
