[SOLVED] Nvidia Proprietary will not work

Hello,

Every time i try to install Nvidia Proprietary driver is makes my system unbootable.
I've tried following some steps online that i've found to make it function. But i can't seem to figure it out.

I'm on KDE plasma Wayland, with BTRFS if this info is of any help.

I'm a noob so please don't assume i understand anything about Arch. if there is a step i need to do. please write the code line out directly before directing me to some link, I;d appreciate it.

thank you

The NVIDIA Proprietary driver does not support Wayland AFAIK.
You should try using X11 instead.

When trying to install linux-rt, the system will not boot at all with proprietary driver
It gets stuck at loading ram disk

What commands did you perform to install the driver?  What were the outputs of the commands?

What steps?

Try Ctrl+Alt+F2 to reach a different terminal.  If that fails try changing the systemd target to boot into.  If that fails boot from the installation media and  chroot in.
Then please post the full system journal from a boot with the issue to a pastebin and post that link in this thread.

Problem I guess was my own lack of knowledge.
Wayland and RT kernel are apparently unsupported for proprietary.
