Problems with system

Hello, I have been having problems since the day I downloaded the system:

  • High CPU usage by kwin_wayland
  • Problems with NVIDIA drivers (60 HZ and locked options)

Please help, it is annoying me slowly

Refusing to post the output of the required “garuda-inxi” on a help request will likely result in you not receiving any help from the Garuda team. A failure to provide your system specs may also result in your thread being closed without notice, (as without this information providing assistance is often next to impossible).

Before opening a new help request, please search the Arch and Garuda Wiki’s, and read any relevant sections related to your issue. Also, thoroughly search any error messages in the forum’s search engine and on the web.

Hello,
This OS looks cool enough for me to create a forum account, unfortunately i just installed and updated. I cant seem to get the integrated Intel Graphics driver to work along with the mobile NVidia 1660TI. kwin_wayland is using about 80 percent CPU and the mouse is non-reposnsive. I loaded the propietary drivers using the documentation on this forum. however, the OS doesnt seem to recognize the integrated Intel graphics. here is my config.
