So a bit of an update here!
After some digging around on these forums I’ve stumbled upon some instructions that were helpful in getting me to address my issue. I figured out how to connect to the internet via the numcli command, updated some of the dependencies following this guide. I also figured out how to which version my kernel is currently 5.10…which I may need to update that. [This guide](Manjaro Kernels - Manjaro seems to be promising lead!
My question to the rest of you, will updating my kernel delete any of the files that I have stored on Manjaro?
Also for what its’ worth and Im sorry if this doesn’t matter, but I’ve seen other people talk about it, but I do have a nvidia graphics card that was recently updated.
