10 hours ago I was trying to install manjaro on my laptop. I have run into problems with the nvidicancer drivers, as one would expect, but at least I had a working OS. I was following a video tutorial that instructed me to tweak some grub settings, and I was able to do it with no problem.

Now on the other hand, I am following the EXACT SAME procedure (same partition, same installer, same settings),but after I update-grub,everything freezes including the command itself.

How is it possible that doing the exact same procedure at different times of the day gives me two different results? Is my laptop sentient and simply "not in the mood" anymore, or what the fuck?

    Yes. Computers are moody bitches. This is known fact.

    Use the open source drivers and save yourself the headache

    @beegC0de I chose the free drivers during all of my attempts, and tried to install something like bumblebee or nvidia-xrun afterwards.

    The thing is that I don't want to dual boot, but I also don't want the 1050ti to go to waste. And being ablee to play some games between dev sessions would also be great so I need some sort of access to the dgpu, free or nonfree.

    @SparkyTD go to arch wiki and try to use PRIME. Or, install Pop_OS so you can use the non-free drivers for better performance.

    @beegC0de I would try it, but as I said in the rant, right now I can't even get a fully functional installation with the free drivers. Maybe it only works in the morning 😂😂 I'll try it tomorrow.

    Use this:

    It helped me a lot. Also, when installing manjaro use the non free drivers option. That will get it to boot at least. You will be uninstalling them later on.

    Why are you people doing this to yourself? Why fiddle endlessly with setting up an OS instead of using one that just works? I never understood that
