I am Using HP Pavilion , RYZEN 4000 series, nvidia graphics card.
PS- I am a noob to linux…

You should try the “SEARCH” function in this Forum,
there is a small magnifying glass in the right corner on the top of the forum-window
==> search for external display…

let’s do a cut and resume. first post the actual (!) output of

inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width

and

glxinfo | grep server

and

echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE 

glxinfo | grep server  :heavy_check_mark:
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.4
server glx extensions:
   ~  echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE  :heavy_check_mark:
wayland

idk why but i am unable to uplaod the Screenshot…but this was the output…

THIS can’t run anyway.
First: you’re running wayland on a 2060. THIS does not function !
Second: You’re running on the intel iGPU actually. post the output of the inxi-command above.

Then log out and search the left-bottom of the login-screen. there should be a option-window to switch between X11 and wayland. switch to X11 and keep in mind that nvidia does not work with wayland !

Then post the actual state of your situation. post the output of the glxinfo and session command i posted above again.

keep in mind i’m in a hurry so don’t waste time.

What have you done to install an acient 470-series driver ? The valid version number is 530.xxx. use the package manager and install the actual driver first.

inxi -G

shows the graphic details and you’ll need a 530.
How did this happen ?

I suggest that you are a really noob. deleting and installing this weird installation isn’t easy and my opinion is that you start a new install, choose the propietary driver support at the beginning of the installation and do this first.
i already know this is a way faster than clearing up this mess.
if you’re finished with the install post the state and we can go on.

Looks similar but not thre same I presume?

The system isn’t fully update either. Stable 6.3 kernel is at 6.3.5-1. If you choose to do a fresh install (you should), immediately update.
