I’ve been fooling with this for days now and I lost ALL my old files and data trying to update my original installation. Reinstalled latest Garuda Gnome and now even after following the steps here and ones @Jeshu left in the FAQ where he had to use Nvidia-all, and even tried using GrokAi to help me fix it, nothing has worked and I am still stuck unable to use Garuda properly. Grok helped me get Nvidia-525xx-dkms to work after removing or reconfiguring every file used to start up the OS, but 525xx-dkms is outdated and wasn’t working properly.
When I install Garuda on my i9+rtx3060 I can turn on after install using Nouveau drivers, but when I use Garuda-Setup-Assistant and install Nvidia Drivers I am unable to reboot without losing display output as the PC starts up. The tower and Keyboard RGB and fans work as normal, but display is lost.
I am currently booted up again on a fresh install with the first system update done and garuda-setup-assist has installed nvidia-drivers, but if I restart my pc after following the steps you listed from the frogging-family page I will get the same result. Loss of display to my TV.
I’ve tried Multiple kernels, multiple versions of the Nvidia driver, always running dracut and updating grub after.
I’m self taught with Linux, so forgive me if I’m missing something Obvious??

I was also given this in an old thread when I had this same issue on my previous install. I just kept older drivers for a while. I’d do this, but Idk exactly what to do with the information, make a .sh file with my information replacing his and run it, I assume?
EDIT: I tried running the above script and still no dice. Maybe I did it wrong, but It seemed to run correctly.
#!/usr/bin/env fish
if not test -e /etc/dracut.conf.d/earlykms.conf
echo 'Warning, early graphics configuration file does not exist'
set vc_startup /etc/dracut.conf.d/earlykms.conf

echo 'force_drivers+=" nvidia nvidia_drm nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm "' > $vc_startup
dracut-rebuild
echo 'Rebooting in 5 seconds'
sleep 5
reboot
else
echo 'Early graphics configuration file already exists.'
