Hi,
Ubuntu based distros don’t do it for me anymore.
Tried some new distros I never used before in VirtualBox.
I ended up clean installing “Manjaro” KDE Plasma.
Very solid OS, never used Arch Linux before and this was my chance.
I have an nVidia GeForce RTX 3060 12GB.
The proprietary display driver is running version: 550.135.
But OpenGL reports version: 1.4?
Is something wrong? I was expecting a higher version of OpenGL.
Let me know.

Hi and welcome,
System info would be a good start;
inxi -Farz
Also see this guide for how to format code, etc …
OpenGL looks ok.
Does everything look ok?

You have no swap space defined. If you wish to hibernate, you won’t be able to as it stands. It is usually recommended to configure swap even if its rarely used.
Nothing else to add.
Maybe a swapfile 
Instructions already in this forum - just a quick search…
Hi,
Thanks.
I have 64GB RAM.
On previous distro installs I did have a swap.
The swap would kick in when I was only using 15% of RAM.
I gave it up, no problems.

Your inxi results show OpenGL 4.6, GLX 1.4, and EGL 1.5, all of which are the latest versions.
The default swappiness most distro’s use is 60. I too have a lot of RAM so I changed it to 0. Swap is pretty much never touched on my system.
As for the opengl question, if you’re referring to the glx 1.4, that is correct even if your opengl is a higher version. This is mine:

swap space infers a provision for swap; which could be either a swap partition or a swap file; depending on the need. Here’s the wink.
This does look off.
Have you done anything to install/configure components for nvidia?
I might wonder what glxinfo produces.
glxinfo | grep -E 'Device|renderer string'
