Confusion about installing proprietary Nvidia Drivers in Manjaro

@Sifat1

I’m aware that there is a Hardware Detection utility built into Manjaro, but I also see many online guides about disabling nouveau drivers after installing nvidia drivers. What’s the correct way actually?

Are those guides relevant to Manjaro?

There are a lot of Linux distributions, and such guides are usually oriented towards specific distributions; that can be confusing.

Read the relevant documentation

Documentation related to the application often detail its processing logic, or even lists common issues with solutions and workarounds. A few places that you can check first are:

• its manual, when available: man <my_app>
• its help menu, when available: <my_app> --help
• its official online documentation
• Manjaro wiki
• Arch wiki
