What package are you using for the nvidia driver?
You need to use nvidia-dkms if you have multiple kernels installed
Make sure you install linux-cachyos-headers from the AUR as well
I installed the .run file, latest beta driver
is there a better way to install the driver?
Oh no
?
No, you're not supposed to install it like that
how then?
You're supposed to install it via pacman
pacman -S nvidia-dkms, but first you need to uninstall the other drivers
how do I uninstall?
I believe you need to use the .run file with the --uninstall flag
ok
I uninstalled it and installed the dkms using pacman
I'ma install Nvidia settings but other than that anything else I need?
is the cachy kernel supposed to show up in the systemd thing? its not there. how do I use that kernel?
You need to make an entry yourself when using systemd-boot
There should be an existing one in /boot/loader/entries/ (or somewhere like that) that you can use as reference
this is whats inside:

title Arch Linux (linux)
linux /vmlinuz-linux
initrd /initramfs-linux.img
options root=PARTUUID=1a10cc8c-05c7-42df-b9ba-9f0e9b6b8137 zswap.enabled=0 rootflags=subvol=@ rw rootfstype=btrfs nvidia-drm.modeset=1
Make a copy of that file and change the linux and initrd line to match the cachyos versions
They should exist alongside the others in your boot directory
where are the cachy os linux and initrd found?
