Hi! I installed endeavorOS a few weeks ago and things were working decently well, but then I was running into freezing/crashes. I started on Wayland, so switched to x11 to see if it would be any better. It was better for a certain amount of time, but then I got more freezing.
I started looking into the driver situation, and it seems like endeavorOS installs the nouveau driver by default.
I followed this guide https://github.com/korvahannu/arch-nvidia-drivers-installation-guide to install the proprietary drivers, but I had to alter the steps a bit since I have dracut and not mkinitcpio.
I ran nvidia-smi after following the steps, but it wasn't working and lscpi listed nouveau as the driver being used.
Asked chatgpt about switching to proprietary driver and it mentioned creating a file at /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf with the following contents: blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0
Mostly wondering if the above step is necessary? I didn't try rebooting without it, figured at worst it shouldn't break anything, but I have no idea what I'm doing and just want to see if the stability is any better with the proprietary driver.
Also wondering if the issue is related to using multiple monitors with different resolutions as I haven't had any issues with a single monitor plugged in it seems
