Hello.
First post here. Only installed Garuda 3 days ago and was having a great time doing all my usual business things. I tried to game today and well... I think it's useful to start all the way back when I installed Garuda.
I attempted to select the propriety drivers option at the GRUB screen but that didn't work out (similar error to this guy but the solutions suggested didn't help me) so instead of actually solving the issue I decided to install with the open-source drivers. Nothing went wrong with the open-source drivers and I just moved on thinking I could replace the driver at a later date.
That later date is today and I have certainly had issues. Now, I'm not a linux newb (I come from pure Arch) so I tried to use my old solution for getting the drivers to work: nvidia-xrun. However, when I saw it had a dependency on the arch kernel, I decided to try other things, which led to optimus-manager. "This is the method already used by Garuda!", I thought, "Surely this will do it!". so I install it and the qt widget and reboot.
Loading kernel linux-zen ...
Loading inital ramdisk ...
It gets stuck on this screen. The lts kernel does the same thing. The only way to save the system from this point is to boot a snapshot from before I installed optimus-manager. It is logical to assume, then, that the optimus-manager is what's causing the problem. Perhaps it was even causing the problem I had with the install.
Is there something in the open-source install of Garuda that simply cannot coexist with optimus? I doubt it (but I am open to the possibility) because this happened during the install process as well. Have I backed my system into a corner, per se, and is the only solution to reinstall and get the drivers to work there? I don't know at this point, and would appreciate help. I've already installed the dkms driver so optimus (or some other solution) is the only thing in the way of my gaming.
Here's my system info if it helps.
