For some reason I tried reinstalling the normal nvidia drivers (out of frustration because maybe it could magically fix the error)
And I was greeted that a Kernel Module nvidia-drm
was already loaded and so the installation failed (?)
heres the log:

I remember changing something with the nvidia driver so that it loads first. It should be this https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA#Early_loading
.
Maybe that is my problem.
Is this just unrelated or could it actually be the cause of the problem?
