assuming you have a mostly normal setup, it would basically just involve installing a package

Should be as easy as installing the nvidia package (if you have a reasonably recent gpu).

The thing is, I tried installing arch with the archinstall script, but it failed. I then tried installing arch manually and I could not get the drivers to work, at all
So I resorted to installing arch with the archinstall script with nouveau drivers
I'm not sure if they'll just work now
I have a 3070 (Laptop version)
Same issue I had when I tried to install arch manually
I have a black screen with an unmoving cursor in the top left
Any idea what to do?

do you have an intel CPU?
violet mural
Yes I do
Why?
Unable to install Nvidia drivers, at all
Unable to install proprietary nvidia drivers

omg
i tried everything
finally something new!
On the arch wiki it tells me to add them to arch.conf, however i dont have an arch.conf file
there is a 2022-10-19_16.56.31_linux.conf file
hexed portal
edit that
violet mural
should i copy everything from that file over to arch.conf and add it there or it to to that file?
hexed portal
no
hexed portal
just use the file that's there
it's just how archinstall names the systemd-boot entries

trying again now, thanks a lot for the advice
holy fuck
i spent
hours
like probably a dozen hours
trying EVERYTHING on the arch wiki
i did the kernel mode shit or whatever
i installed different driver versions
i edited the mkinit thing
added all kinds of shit to my kernel parameters
i even tried wayland thinking that maybe god was playing a trick on me and that that would work
but nope, just adding those 7 letters fixed it!
thank you so so so much!
i considered quitting arch because of this, and the fix was so easy...
it was probably somewhere very obvious on the wiki and i just overread it...
