I’m using Macbook Pro 2012 with dual GPU, intel + nvidia gt650m. I want to move from MacOS to Linux. Already tried some other Linux distros, and find out that only manjaro with nvidia 470 driver works. But I have one problem, when I connect external monitor with HDMI it’s not working. In nvidia configs it shows external monitor as connected, but there is no picture. Is it possible to resolve at all or I need to stay on low noevue driver?
