Hi everyone, I recently bought a nvidia gpu (previous was AMD) and decided to install the drivers for it after installing it.
After running through the steps on the arch wiki, I rebooted my system.
I get a black screen, I am able to run commands in the terminal but it doesn’t appear to be connected to the internet so I cannot run an update or other solutions I found here: Computer doesn’t boot, boots to a black screen, or stops at a message
I’m currently using a liveUSB, where my display is also the incorrect resolution for some reason and I cannot change it.
I could not find a fix on the forums, please help if you can.
Here’s the full output of my garuda-inxi
