from further reading i think it's correct to say that when i launch an application with the gpu: nvidia-run steam it renders black. i can still hear it, and hear that im hovering over buttons (if i launch a game for example). the only thing that I can think of that might be doing anything is...

yeah defo not disabled :)

very well. Thank you for your help. Ill try on fedora live env. and i also have asked intel fourms. may as well sort this out for the whole of arch if that is indeed the issue. When i solve - and i will grrrrr - ill post here shall i? :) best

ah. would being on an arch-based distro perhaps not have this certified-ness that ubuntu has got? i am very certain that it is my wifi card. assuming it is, is there anything to the effect of "please computer, turn off any software that might be switching the wifi off" command?

i sure do. both of them. along with loooots others but after reading the arch wiki i get the modular system :) so either this hardware is utterly new to linux or....? tbh im out of my depth, this is pretty much the first thing i couldnt sort, and im worried this laptop siimply isn't...

of course. I am using EndeavourOS, an arch based distro with far fewer changes than something like Manjaro. On the EndeavourOS fourms we have tried and failed so sort this. inxi -F outputs the following: System: Host: idefix Kernel: 5.18.9-arch1-1 arch: x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: Xfce...

I've come here as last resort. This is a pretty new spec laptop at a 3050TI and 12th gen i7 cpu. I would love to make it my new home but im having issues sorting the wifi! I know the wifi card works, as just before i nuked windows, it had shown all available connections and was asking me to pick...
