Thanks for all the information in this topic and a few more other threads concerning the discontinuation of Maxwell and Pascal support in the upcoming nividia driver versions (after 580). Unfortunately the Manjaro stable update yesterday already brought 590, so I was a bit too late to fix the issue on my system after the holidays…

I think I understood the things to be done so far, but I have the impression that the suggested solutions (switching to e.g. linuxXX-nvidia-575xx) are mainly addressing desktop computers with a single (Maxwell/Pascal) GPU. I on the other hand have a hybrid Intel/NVidia Pascal (mobile Geforce 1060 MaxQ) graphic setup in a Dell Laptop.
from my understanding that means I need a video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-xx-prime driver?
the latest legacy one is the 470 version, running on my system so far is video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime, i.e. the version that is automatically updated during the rolling releases.
Is my assessment correct, that I can only step down to video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-470xx-prime because there is no newer version for hybrid graphics?

what would you suggest for my situation?
could I just update to the current version of Manjaro stable (yesterdays update), let nvidia-590xx break the NVidia part of my hybrif setup, hoping that the Intel part will continue to work as usual (so that I still have a graphical system), and resolve/downgrade nvidia thereafter?
or should I resolve before updating?
