So im in the process of moving to the nouveau driver however i cant seem to figure out why nouveau isnt loading at boot (also for some reason im missing a few desktop files, i guess because they had “prime-run” in them?)
This post seems to be missing a bit of pertinent information.
Please have a look at the following link: How to provide good information
But if I had to guess … it sounds like you have dual-graphics?
If so things are a bit different than just ‘switching drivers’.
Ah yea i forgot inxi -Fxz, as for the ‘switching drivers’ im switch from the legacy nvidia drivers to nouveau while still keeping the amd drivers, im just running into an issue having nouveau load at boot

Ah OK - every time I see nvidia+drivers+problem I assume optimus.
Can you verify the issues is not one of the common ones outlined here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Nouveau#Loading
It was blacklisted in the optimus modprobe file but commenting that out seems to cause the issue to persist, and im not seeing any of the others
How were you going about driver installation? What does mhwd say?
mhwd -li
&
mhwd -l
( in case mhwd sounds foreign to you … please see Manjaro Hardware Detection - Manjaro )
output of mwhd -li

all i did was remove the nvidia legacy drivers and get nouveau to be able to run, then had mhwd install open source drivers and removed a few lines that blacklisted nouveau in /etc/modprobe.d/mwhd-gpu.conf, as well as removing two nvidia lines in /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf and /etc/modules-load.d/mhwd.conf, although optimus seems to be unloading nouveau and then trying to load nvidia and then crashing based off the logs
I think i know whats happening, Optimus is crashing because its logging into wayland instead of X11, which isnt supported on GDM, though if i try to force it to load X11 it just sits at a black screen for a bit before i can switch to tty3 to comment out the wayland enable in gdm/custom.conf
I had gotten it to work, however nothing i wanted to use it with seemed to work on it, so i moved back to the legacy nvidia drivers
