To get Nvidia working on Arch here is what I did:

During installation of Arch when it asked if I wanted to chroot into my distro I did. However if you enter commandline by hitting CTR+ALT+<F1 or F2 or F3> to change to a virtual console. If you are doing this from a chroot environment you don’t need sudo.

edit the mkinitcpio.conf

sudo nano /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

In the MODULES=() section I added “nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm” without quotes. So it looked like this:

MODULES=(nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm)

Afterwards I updated my initramfs images by running:

sudo mkinitcpio -P

Then I edited my grub config:

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

Find the line that says “GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”“”

<span style="color:#323232;">GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nvidia-drm.modeset=1" 
</span>

Then I updated grub

<span style="color:#323232;">sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
</span>

Note: I use the Nvidia Proprietary drivers

I do not recommend Manjaro especially if you are going to be using the AUR (Arch User Repository) as it can cause things to break.
