Hello everyone! This is my first post here, but since I installed Manjaro (my first linux distro) 4 months ago I have been a lurker in this forum. Please forgive me if I do not provide enough information or ask newbie questions, I will try to give as many details as possible beforehand.
A few days ago I upgraded my Desktop PC running Intel iGPU with a brand new RTX3060:

I read through the Manjaro wiki on how to Configure Graphics Cards, so I initially tried to install the drivers using the Hardware Configuration GUI in the Settings. Prior to further research, I tried installing the video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-470xx-prime. But after decrypting everything I saw was a black screen. It is just a black screen, neither I get an error message, nor can I access TTY (Ctrl+Alt+Function keys do nothing). Currently I only have one of my two screens connected via DP to my mainboard. After installation of the nvidia drivers, I can only see the decryption dialog when I keep the DP plugged into my mainboard. But the moment Manjaro boots up there is only black. Plugging the DP cable into the GPU after decryption does not give me an image either.
After loading up the Timeshift btrfs snapshot via grub, I looked at my journalctl file and there was an nvidia error talking about module verification failed, tainting kernel or the like. If you need details I can reproduce the error, since I do not have the journal entry anymore because I always forget to not restore my home when restoring my Timeshift snapshots. Let me know if there are better ways to check for errors instead of the journalctl if I cant seem to open TTY during the blackscreen.
Then I did some research and came to the conclusing that configuring my Desktop system to use the hybrid drivers is not worth the time and effort and I am better off just using my dGPU for everything, so I just tried the “normal” nvidia drivers from there on.
I also tried installations using the command
sudo mhwd -a pci free 0300
and
sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300
both commands install the video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-470xx-prime on my system, so I cannot use these. I tried all of the recommended drivers that are shown in the GUI but none of these would work. mhwd -l && mhwd -li:

I have been trying things out and looked up a lot posts for days now, but most of the time people that are having problems with their drivers on systems with iGPU are having issues on their laptops. I am currently on Kernel 5.17 but I also tried out drivers on Kernel 5.15. I am not sure though if I tried every combination possible.
I am at a loss if the problem is a wrong driver, wrong kernel, wrong configuration or a bug or a combination of everything? It would be great if someone could help me out. There are so many factors to consider here that I am totally overwhelmed and don’t know where to look anymore.
But it is better to check indeed).
