Resolution stuck at 1024x768 +Super lags [Garuda super noob]

I just installed garuda dragonized gaming edition I don’t really understand at linux or anything just done with windows I need help with resolution that’s stuck and also ITS SOOO laggy I tried to look at wikis of many but dont find anything useful plus its so laggy and looks like crap that I cant even look around

Tried to update nvidia drive but it just opens it in console type of thing and i cant run it (I know garuda or linux is not for me in terms of skill but I want to use a different OS other then windows since windows 7 is not suppoerted) Please and thank you for the help

You booted onto a Wayland session. Try x11 (you can select it in the login screen), or with Wayland use the kernel boot parameter suggested here (maybe use the Garuda Boot Assistant, or micro as our default terminal editor instead of nano):

You don’t have that driver problem. This is just to explain what parameter to setup, how and why.

x11 worked thank you and also how do I update my driver in x11? it just shows me a code when i click on the downloaded file. and are all files gonna be like this apps and stuff?

You don’t upgrade the drivers manually.
They are packages that get updated along with the rest of the system with

So as long as I update every week or so my drivers are up to date?

Exactly

One last question before I mark solution I have 2 drives one is my main NVME which works and the other one doesnt appear about 100 GB’s regular SSD how do i make it appear?

Sorry, that’s a completely different issue which should be discussed in a different topic (for forum usability).
Check here if it helps.

PS: welcome to the forum!

Every day, if you want. Garuda is a rolling release and as such, is constantly updating packages, including kernels & drivers.
