Hi there!
I just finished installing Garuda for the first time. It works great untill I run the Garuda Setup Assistant and it updates and asks me if I want to install nvidia drivers.
If I don’t, the OS runs normally, albeit with a few animation bugs here and there. If I do install it, it stops detecting my monitors and the resolution doesn’t go higher than 800x600, and then I have issues uninstalling the installed drivers.
This is a fresh install, straight from an ISO downloaded from the website today.
I’m pretty new to Linux (Arch specifically) and am clueless as how to proceed. I have found other closed issues on similar matters back in 2022, but none of their solutions worked for me.
I have attempted reinstalling nvidia-dkms, nvidia-5xx-dkms (I forget the correct version, I can find it if it’s important), calling nvidia-all, etc etc.
Any help on this would be much appreciated!
