Hi,
I’m currently using Linux Mint but I would like to try Manjaro (I’ve been using Debian based distros for more than 10 years, maybe it’s time to move on…)
I tried the USB live version (manjaro-kde-21.0.1-210410-linux510). I have a strange problem with the video driver. The screen on my laptop looks like this: look at those horizontal lines on my monitor (in fact they are horizontal, but I took the photo with my phone a little tilted)
Using Mint the video card works very well with both the video cards (nVidia and Intel), I can also play some 3d games on Steam without any problem.
I also tried another Arch based distro (Garuda) and I have the same problem (it’s not a problem with my graphic card, with Linux Mint it is all right).
Can you help me to solve the problem?
I would like to see at least the nVidia video card properly working (possibly both, nVidia and Intel) before installing Manjaro on my hard drive.
Thank you very much for your time
Francesco
