Well asince that seems to be the issue if I do it, seems it will become unbootable again. I wish the failsafe was like Windows safe mode.
Why would that be? It was your father’s computer with nouveau that became unbootable after updating.
Well I had the Nvidia driver before this all started.
But that was on Wayland, right?
Yes, I do wonder if X would become unbootable. Does BTRFS make snapshots so if it does become unbootable, I cassn just boot that up. The failsafes were effected also last update.
Probably not. The Nvidia drivers do normally work with X11.
Only if you install snapper or if you manually create a snapshot with timeshift after installing the driver.
problems with nvidia drivers in Manjaro? kinda odd.
So far, the problem here is only anticipated and the worry is about possible issues.
There is fear that something might break on the one hand - but he likes to keep using Manjaro nonetheless on the other. 
I put on Solus yesterday, I may reinstall soon. I should have a OS I can update. So, why is the driver making it unbootable? Even with the updte yesterday.
I don’t know Solus.
From what I read (Wikipedia), it is very similar to Manjaro - in that it will receive updates once a week which may bring with them the very same issues you have with Manjaro right now.
Its package manager, eopkg, is based on the PiSi package management system from Pardus Linux,[3] and it has a semi-rolling release model, with new package updates landing in the stable repository every Friday.
And now you have to learn and use a new package manager as well …
Perhaps not the best alternative choice to get to some period of stability and calm.
Is that the case?
I do not know the answer to that question.

So, I had just the open source & it still di the break Manjaro thing, so can I update all accept any nvidia stuff? Prob. goinng to Solus just checking.Or just update the apps like Firefox?
If you want an idea on how to proceed - buy yourself an AMD GPU and sell the Nvidia GPU on eBay.
The AMD 9060 could be a valid replacement for your nvidia 3060 and because AMD provides the driver directly to the Linux kernel it is a win-win for you (and your fellow forum members 
)
A quick search at https://www.amazon.com/s?k=amd+9060 reveals it is priced around $400
