Change from open source driver to proprietary driver

When installing i3 i got stuck into loading while selecting the proprietary driver so I used open source. What is the difference and how do i switch to proprietary ?

If Nvidia, then to install (driver) would be (after install of system complete)-

sudo pacman -Syu

reboot

then

sudo dkms autoinstall

reboot and test if working nicely.

The difference is up to you. :slightly_smiling_face:

One is open-source, the other is proprietary.

Use Garuda Hardware Manager.
