@manuel yes I have optane on mine. @ricklinux linked me to the nvidia installer version and it set up just fine. I havent had time yet to play around with the nvidia files he asked me to install afterwards, but at least one of the files borked my screen so that it wouldnt even light up with the black screen. Im learning as I go with this one. Ill test those files out later. As far as recognizing or not recognizing with optane, most debian os installs fine. Most arch distros have issues installing, but I can install arch on there though. I say that because last night I gave up before @ricklinux linked me to the nvidia iso for endeavour, then when he linked that I quit my arch install which was half way done, then installed the iso without a hitch. Anyway, sorry about the rambling. Heres the link to the latest nvidia iso
https://endeavour.kamprad.net/beta/endeavouros-2019.10.06-x86_64.iso
OK. Great that the system is working now! 
Yes sir. I just installed nvidia package from pacman then rebooted and thats what messed up my screen. Now I know 
@manuel maybe this info can help. The laptop has the following specs and Nvidia drivers were tried and they didn’t work. I’m not sure that nvidia dkms will work either. I don’t have enough exposure to this hardware and what needs to be done to make it work if it will. The system works on nouveau as far as i can tell after being able to get it installed finally. This is the hardware on the acer.

@jay You didn’t mess it up trying to install nvidia again did you? Not sure if I’m following your post correctly. 
Yes. Sudo pacman -S nvidia
Sudo reboot
Black screen
Tty
Sudo -rm nvidia
Sudo reboot
Everythings better
Maybe @manuel has some nvidia advice. At least you were able to install it with that ISO and it’s working.
This might help

Looks like nvidia driver is installed here? Have you got it working? nvidia-settings not installed?
sudo pacman -S nvidia-settings
Sudo pacman -S nvidia-settings shows it as being installed already
