Brand new to Manjaro and pretty new to linux (Been on Kali for a bit).
Got a new work laptop and want to use Manjaro as my daily driver for work.
I have reinstalled Manjaro ~30+ times at this point and I’ve spent days trying to figure this out. I’ve been through the wiki exhaustively and tried everything I can to fix it.
I normally don’t ever ask for help on things like this as I can typically research it, but, I am now asking for help as I’m at a loss.
Hybrid Intel/Nvidia (I hate hybrids but I didn’t buy the laptop so I don’t have a choice)
sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300
I cannot run the above command because it will brick my system (Unable to get to terminal with CTRL+ALT F1,F2,F3,F4,F5,F6)
According to the hardware configuration
It “wants” to install video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime
Thats the one that bricks the system
So I naturally tried the option below
Since I have to boot with open-source drivers
I run this first before installing and restarting laptop
sudo mhwd -r pci video-linux
I then run
sudo mhwd -i pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-470xx prime
It installs but it won’t load.

I suspect the issue may lie in the modules section and configuring it to load early from my research but the only research i’ve found on it so far is related to AMD and there aren’t any suggestions for Nvidia on that topic.

I’ve even tried installing the linuxx64 drivers that are downloaded directly from their page using sudo bash but I get some weird error when its building it and its unable to finish installing.
I have developed an unhealthy obsession with fixing this lol.
I have fixed touchpad driver issues, sound driver issues and network issues but I can’t get these drivers to load properly.
I also have NO output on HDMI port to one monitor with the Open source drivers at all.
So hopefully the proprietary drivers after they are loaded will fix that display issue as well.
I appreciate your time on this
