Manjaro freezing in boot screen after downloading nvidia driver

I’ll check this out just to see how Graphics cards can be configured in Manjaro, thank you for the help provided from you guys! :+1:

And next time I’ll do more research myself before accidentally doing something wrong.

A couple extra things…

PRIME works well, and is usually how people want to use their laptop. That is most everything runs on the capable but power-efficient intel. And then they only fire up the power-hungry nvidia for specific tasks like 3D gaming. So for example in steam you add prime-run to the game boot options like so;

prime-run %command%

(now that game runs on the nvidia)

Note that while the driver profile from mhwd still needs to be the hybrid one…

If you really do want some sort of switcher utility and/or to be able to boot into one card or the other… tools do exist. I know envycontrol is considered to work well.

Its always better to make big mistakes on a fresh install, a reinstall won’t waste much time then.

But you could also create a snapshot with the help from Timeshift (recommend Rsync on a External HDD/SDD). For a additional safety net, that you simple can restore your working OS.

Then you can mess around with Linux as much as you want, without regretting it :slight_smile:

I’ll be trying out GPU profile selector, and I might do that snapshot thing to mess around probably, thank you guys a lot with offering help to newbies, like me lol, just thanks a lot! :+1:
