Ok. just use Nvidea Settings in System-Settings or from launcher.

If you use optimus-manager, I see this was affected by the python update yesterday and should be reinstalled.

[mmsaeed509]

reinstall optimus-manager can fix the issue ?

[filo]

Yes, I think so

[Intervention potentially required] Python 3.10 and you

Hi thanks for the info bricked my pc a couple times yesterday but now it works mostly but optimus manager still isnt working. it gets shown in task bar but when i want to use it its says i should enable/start it with systemctl but when i try i doesnt work any tips?

Garuda Linux don't boot and loop

Just goto add remove software and reinstall optimus manager after you have updated but before you reboot then reboot

[mmsaeed509]

ok I'll try it

[mmsaeed509]

it works
thank you so much @filo
