Hey, I’m new to Linux in general. I have some experience using Linux Mint and I’m trying out this Distro as a way of easing into Arch. I’ve been having an issue when if I try to login with Wayland, my screen goes blank as if it’s not receiving any signal. I can login with X11 but I can’t set my monitor to my highest refresh rate of 100Hz otherwise the same thing occurs. I can set it to 75/60Hz with no issues though. I’m not sure if it’s a NVidia issue or a Wayland/x11 issue. I’m not sure what other info to give or how to get it, but here are my specs:
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 2560 x 1440, maximum 32767 x 32767
HDMI-0 connected primary 2560x1440+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 598mm x 336mm

1280x1024 75.02 60.02
1280x960 60.00
1280x800 59.81

Update on my issues. I’ve done some experimenting and this is what I’ve found. The only DE that I can’t log in to at all is KDE Wayland. All the others (Including their Wayland versions) I can login but I can’t set the refresh rate higher than 75Hz. I’ve also tried cinnamon as a DE because that’s what I used on Mint where I didn’t have this problem but that also has the issue where I can’t set the refresh higher than 75. I’ve also tried setting the refresh rate to 99.95 in xrandr through the terminal but that also resulted in a signal lost message. If anyone can give some help, that would be greatly appreciated.
Yeah, even on X11 I can’t set it to 100Hz. As I’ve said, the only DE I can’t use at all is KDE Plasma Wayland because the monitor just loses signal as soon as I login, all the others I’ve tried, I can login but I can’t set the refresh rate higher than 75Hz.
Okay, I’ve just gone back to Linux Mint. Thanks to those who tried to help,the problem isn’t specific to EndeavourOS as far as I can tell, I had the exact same problem on CatchyOS as well so I assume the problem is KDE Wayland related for the no signal on login issue and driver related for the stuck at 75hz issue,or some mixture of the two.
