So, I got it working, I just ended up using optimus switch.  
I started following this guide  
[https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/optimus-switch-another-solution-for-optimus-laptops/7593](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/optimus-switch-another-solution-for-optimus-laptops/7593)  
Arfter runing

> pacman -Q | grep nvidia

from the first steps, I fount out that even with the nvidia propietary install, no drivers where installed, neither the nvidia-installer-dkms.  
So I started by runing

> sudo pacman -S nvidia-installer-dkms

and runing the dkms by force

> sudo nvidia-installer-dkms --force

On step 8, I didnt restart, I run

> pacman -Q | grep nvidia

again, and manually remove all entries but  
nvidia-installer-common 1.3-1  
nvidia-installer-db 2.5.8-1  
nvidia-installer-dkms 3.5-1  
did a reboot and ended up with ​ “Reached target Graphical Interface” a blinking cursor so I started the system on TTY 3 and went ahead and installed  
nvidia-390xx 390.151-1  
nvidia-390xx-dkms 390.151-2  
nvidia-390xx-utils 390.151-2  
and thats it, I got it working.  
Thanks to all for the help!!!
