I just recently updated after running for a long time on an old build where I installed the 560 drivers manually though the process linked, but after trying again this time it didn’t seem to work. Open-Source drivers seem to allow me to login to the OS but my inxi says Driver: N/A and there is no GPU card sound option even though when I check on Nvidia-dkms-tkg everything seems to be installed. Any tips would be appreciated, thanks!

I’ve seen where you’ve tried to help pretty much anyone who’s had an nvidia issue on the forums. I’ve gone through a BUNCH of brute forcing using maybe a dozen different nvidia drivers and somehow the latest 575 nvidia-all booted to the GDM, but would lose output after loading gnome, so I figured I’d connect my pc to another tv to see if loading a lower resolution display would work, IT DID!
