Hello, i’ve decided to try Manjaro and the live CD was a beautiful experience.
I’ve tried installing optimus-manager, which didn’t change much.
Thank you in advance.

okay step 1:
echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE && glxinfo | grep server
you’ll see that you’re running wayland what doesn’t charm with nvidia.
Everything’s just as you said.
Yes.
i’ve tried to run:
prime-offload
optimus-manager --switch hybrid
after logging in again, the display freezes on the loading screen.

that’s clear, your type of laptop is hardwired. this means you can use the laptopdisplay on intel or nvidia but the external display need the use of the nvidia card.
pamac install envycontrol
stop, disable and mask optimus (you can remove it later if everything is fine)
sudo systemctrl stop optimus-manager && sudo systemctrl disable optimus-manager && sudo systemctrl mask optimus-manager
make sure optimus is disabled
systemctrl status optimus-manager
it must be inactive
use envycontrol to switch to nvidia
sudo envycontrol -s nvidia
reboot, login and check again
echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE && glxinfo | grep server
nvidia ? if not, no problem. in this case we’ll edit grub but try this first

Works!sudo systemctrl stop optimus-manager && sudo systemctrl disable optimus-manager && sudo systemctrl mask optimus-managersystemctl.
Regardless, the external monitor works well and becomes the primary display once i close the laptop’s lid.
Much appreciated Olli!

that’s why i thought it’s installed.
a little bit late and a little bit tired, sorry for the typo-mismatch.
It was, i have no clue how it disappeared - I did not remove it and was using it moments before you’ve solved the problem.
Cheers for the effort - thank you.
