Can’t go with clean installation and mantain home, so, I run a manual partition with same parameters and I’m updating now.
Can you tell me how to go with clean installation without partitioning again?
I tell you when it finish to update.
@brahma OK, now I’m in a clean installation all updated.
Can you guide me in order to check and install propietary nvidia drivers?
in the link above there it is explained that you have to use manual partitioning and not format the home partition… but i never reinstalled system like that so really cant help you out on this, but you can search the forum on guides…
so check again with:
inxi -G && mhwd -li

so now you are on open source drivers, so lets try with the envycontrol, but you will very likely end up with a black screen…
install the non bumblebee drivers:
sudo mhwd -i pci video-nvidia-390xx
install envycontrol:
pamac build envycontrol
then run this:
sudo envycontrol -s nvidia
it will prompt you for reboot so do it, and finger crossed 
Stuck on plasma, can’t enter.
Now in chroot.
it was worth a try, so thats it…
uninstall envycontrol:
pamac remove envycontrol
then remove the nvidia drivers:
mhwd -r pci video-nvidia-390xx

Reboor now or install bumblebee?
remove the leftovers:
sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf
then install the bumblebee:
sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300
reboot
and thats it…
here is the arch wiki regarding bumblebee, so experiment with it:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/bumblebee#Usage
there are options to make run specific applications with only nvidia, for example lutris that you mentioned, so just go through it, and see if you can make it run…
you have machine check errors, not good…
so from chroot, remove again the bumblebee drivers:
mhwd -r pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-390xx-bumblebee
reboot and see if you can boot only with the intel one and nouveau nvidia drivers
Stuck on boot… black screen.
Seems like Manjaro crash in all system when NVIDIA propietary drivers is present. Nothing to do. I will not wait for response. Better, Clean installation again.
I will post you the result after booting clean installation and after installing bumblebee drivers.
boot the iso with proprietary drivers, so that it installs the nvidia automatically… previously you didnt do it, you had installed only video linux…
I think the post is SOLVED, but, never it was a solution. Only clean installation resolve the nvidia drivers disaster.
And, never works clean installation only on root, I had to made a new partition to clean installation.
May be you can give me a real good tutorial or page where instructions can be understood for futures installations and keep /home untouched?
@brahma, thanks to you for all the support. Hmmmmmm, if you broke it, you learn it.
so did you booted the iso with proprietary drivers? and then installed it?
Yes, I did it.
All good now.
But I’ll appreciate a good Manjaro clean install without format /home.
so check this:
