Locked out of Manjaro KDE after installing NVidia GPU drivers

Are you sure you need that?

bumblebee does not work well with newer cards - and you have still not provided any useful info.

I don’t open links I don’t know.

it won’t let me. The manjaro forum detects the text as a link and will not allow me to post it…

@linux-aarhus are there aany Linux Operating Systems made for Native Americans ?

The 390xx driver support your 730M card as can be seen from Linux x64 (AMD64/EM64T) Display Driver | 390.157 | Linux 64-bit | NVIDIA

This driver can be specifically installed using mhwd

sudo mhwd -i pci video-nvidia-390xx

According to Linux x64 (AMD64/EM64T) Display Driver | 470.223.02 | Linux 64-bit | NVIDIA the 470 driver should support it as well

sudo mhwd -i pci video-nvidia-470xx

This will likely have an impact on power consumption … and no promises
