I tried switching to Linux on my main PC (cause I’m bored and I have an extra SSD to waste). Like the video shows, I can’t seem to get my left vertical monitor to properly configure on this OS. It’s completely broken. I can’t interact with anything on main monitor once I apply the settings as shown in the video.
The only way it works is if I keep my left monitor in horizontal position.
Google didn’t help and apparently it seems to be a common problem. It’s on me for choosing a broken distro but I kinda like it otherwise. I’d rather find a fix the screen problem.
I’m using an Nvidia 3070.
I fixed it, somehow the drivers I got from running
Showed some incompatibility, I restored the OS and installed the drivers from a difference source
What’s strange was the fact that many other users reported the same problems but they weren’t able to find a fix, even when using alternative drivers.
what other source did you use? If you mean, you downloaded the drivers from nvidia website, etc… pls don’t do that.
the goto-way on Linux is to always use the package manager, simce this makes it easier to keep everything up to date.
If however, you did use pacman, than that’s all fine. nvidia-inst is just a wrapper for some other things that need to be taken care of.
Also, nvidia is known to be troublesome on Linux, so it always needs some manual intervention here and there.
