You shouldn’t install them on the liveusb, you can select a proprietary drivers boot option when you boot from it.
It works the same on EOS as Manjaro actually, but it’s good that things owrked out for you.
The main reason I left manjaro myself was because i didn’t like ‘how’ they install proprietary drivers, that they’re a bit further behind mainline arch than eos, and that for open source drivers their codec support is shit (they use a version of mesa that’s stripped of most codecs and installing a better one is a pain in the ass).
I would suggest you try cachyos before committing fully to manjaro, I that is the distro I intend to try next time i reinstall.
I will try catchyos. I think this is an arch/linux related issue with NVIDIA drivers across all different distros
I’ve been looking at a lot of forums reedit Arch and manjaro and endeavoros all mention problems
You’re probably right there is probably a way to fix this still but I don’t know I’ll try catchyos
Also I heard pop os comes out of the box with Nvidia graphics working
To be honest I put so much time and effort into this I’m still thinking about returning it because if this keeps freezing up like it does in manjaro and endeavoros and I can’t find a solution that I just wasted $2,000
THANK YOU for your help as always rabcor your sincerly a good guy. i um also still have my old dell computer that is YEARS old. still works great with endeavouros despite all this crazyness with this asus super laptop (or so they claimed at best buy lol no its nice just not for linux i guess)
for tonight i am giving up once again i have spent this entire day working on this. maybe tomorrow i will try pop os or catchyos
the difference between manjaro and endeavouros is imdeletly i have issues in endeavouros the thing that tricked me in manjaro is the issue happens later on when i am not expecting it usually to freeze
eitherway 2000 dollars for a computer is A LOT for me to spend on something that freezes (TO MUCH LOL returning this is making more and more sense. i got 2 months)
thanks i will do that sounds like good advice. all you guys who helped or tried thank you. endeavouros forum is such a huge blessing in life. because all the members are so kool to help me out especially taking the time out of there day to do something that is really hard IMO LOL
sunday i am returning it
PS: i read of this happening in POP!_OS as well! on another reedit forum
A trick you can use when buying laptops, before buying them, to check linux compatibility is to google the laptop model and see if you can find anything about their compatibility, often there are archwiki articles covering the compatibility level of specific laptops. They’re not a 100% kind of deal but they are a glimpse into what to expect.
