Yesterday I thought I might spend a few minutes researching your system to see if there were any known issues that may have contributed to your apparent issue.
Unfortunately, because you have manually edited the inxi output beyond it’s potential usefulness, I was unable to. Just noting that neither the model of your computer or hardware chip-ID’s provide any personally identifiable information - they are not serial numbers.
If you are now running Wayland, then there is no X server to restart. You might find useful information at the following link;
- Nvidia (Arch Wiki)
Again, I’m not an Nvidia user, and haven’t been for over a decade, which is to say, I’m unable to help with Nvidia related issues; at least, not with any great certainty. I can attempt to point you in the direction of resources that may be helpful; beyond that, you will need to have some patience, in anticipation of others who might offer more suggestions.
The links I gave earlier (that you seemingly haven’t taken the time to follow) generally provide enough information to detect and install graphcs drivers for Manjaro.
“Nvidia Optimus” is mentioned - I understand that it won’t work with legacy Nvidia graphics such as the GeForce GT 730M which must use the 390xx driver version - instead, “Bumblebee” would need to be used, which is compatible.
This following tutorial seems like it might be helpful (albeit relating to a GeForce GT 740M);
We can’t comment on what may (or may not) have happened with Kubuntu, or Windows 11, but that you’re having issues with two another OS suggests that something else is in play; possibly hardware related.
Did you check the ISO(s) for consistency after downloading?
A downloadable .sha256 file is available on the Manjaro Download page for each Manjaro edition; if the checksum matches, then it remains undamaged.
How are you installing?
Sometimes the Installer USB might not be written correctly, which can have unpredictable results (just like a bad ISO) after using it to perform an installation. Sometimes the USB itself might be faulty; bad controller, maybe, or otherwise unfit for purpose; using a new USB might also help.
A more versatile method, uses Ventoy:
I hope some of this is helpful.
