Hello.
I have installed garuda linux using open source drivers a while ago, i would like to switch to the closed source drivers, is there any way to do this without reinstalling garuda linux?
PS: I have tried installing nvidia from pacman but it seems like it still boots to the open source ones.
The setup assistant should ask you to install the proprietary drivers if you launch it 
You can launch it from Garuda Welcome.
The shell tells me that python-pyxdg and python-xdg are in conflict:

Do sudo pacman -S --asdeps python-pyxdg, accept the replacement and then try again.
It worked, thanks for the help!
