if you’re graphic card is nvidia than choose proprietary and try this first because nvidia is a mess and different network-drivers are strange. trial and error is your friend

I am on Intel. Lenovo Thinkpad e14 gen2

also one more question my laptop supports fingerprint unlock. will be able to use that features on Manjaro?

I would always recommend booting with open source drivers that way your system will boot without any issues. If you have a laptop with dual (intergrated and dedicated) you can install nvidia prime drivers after you have booted
