Hi there,
I’m a new user to Endeavour OS and my first taste of an Arch based system.
It has been a fun distro to get familiar with Arch but not without it’s learning curve I’m a newbie to linux but enjoying the discovery all the same.
My problem : - a video driver problem has occurred when booting into Endeavour, initially it was random now it’s continuous.
I have another Arch based system on the 2nd partion of the drive, Garuda , which has turned out to be very helpful .
This is in error mode when booting into EOS

This is what should look like.

It appears to be loading ‘modesetting vesa’ driver instead of the nvidia driver.
There are no problems booting into Garuda, which is a similarly Arch based OS so it appears not to be a hardware problem.
I would appreciate any advice from the learn’ed forum members.
Thank you very much.
