Update 2025-07-13 @ 7:00 P.M. P.S.T.: I tried installing Kubuntu OS 24 and it did detect the GPU and provided the correct drivers until updating all of the firmware and drivers. Upon reboot none of the hardware drivers worked. I just now re-installed Manjaro KDE and I am now re-installing all of my programs. Before this I tried installing Microsoft Windows 11 from the official ISO provided from Microsoft [ DOT ] com and it gave me a Blue-Screen-of-Death. I ran a hardware test from the included BIOS Hardware Diagnostics program before OS bootup and it reported nothing wrong with the hardware. I have already tried auto-installing the detected GPU drivers on Manjaro and then deleting the video-linux driver to force it to only use the Nvidia driver, but it broke the system and did not boot / show the login screen.

Update: 2025-07-13 @ 7:40 P.M,
I installed the Nvidia drivers for the GK208 / GT 730M along with the video-linux driver. It installed the NVidia X Server Settings application and when I go to use the application it gives me a message stating: “You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA x driver. Please edit your X configuration file ( Just run 'nvidia-xconfig as root ), and restart the X server.”
I do not understand this because when I run this command in terminal it doesn’t do anything. I don’t know how to restart the X server. I don’t know the command.
