Proprietary Drivers - Changes failed

Support Graphics & Display

I’m trying to switch to proprietary drivers though the Manjaro Settings Manager, but I keep getting the error below. I was running the 5.8 kernel, but I downgraded to 5.7 and it is still not working. The system is fully updated.

Hi!
You need to remove those packages
sudo pacman -Rns linux-latest linux-latest-nvidia-440xx

You need to execute in a terminal:

sudo pacman -R linux-latest-nvidia-440xx
sudo mhwd -i pci video-modesetting
sudo mhwd -r pci linux57-nvidia-440xx 
sudo mhwd -i pci linux57-nvidia-450xx
