Hello Garuda friends I require your wisdom once again
My computer which is a gaming laptop with both an Intel video card and Nvidia graphics card has been crashing on start up. First thing I did was search around for possible causes of crashing at start up and I saw some people with nvidia drivers having the same problem. To confirm if it was the drivers I did a fresh install of Garuda without the proprietary Nvidia drivers and just the open source stuff with no nvidia drivers installed. This completely solved my problem but well, now I can't play games.
I tried looking up for some help fixing this problem but so far haven't found a solution. So I'm wonder if anyone here can help. I've heard Nvidia isn't great with linux so far and gaming laptops with dual graphics cards especially. But my computer was pre-installed with Windows 11 and that's (mod deletion) up my machine twice so far, don't even know what MS is playing at these days, I was hoping I could switch to using Linux and Garuda is the best distro I've found so far.
If its any help I have the same problem with Manjaro and using the nvidia driver. Could it be a problem with arch not liking my card or something?
