Need Help with Video Drivers on a Mid2012 Macbook Pro - sh.itjust.works

Hello, I have been trying to get my drivers to play more nice with my hardware. When I originally installed Arch, it automatically installed the nouveau driver which mostly worked. However I was having issues with some windows rendering with big white boxes and a couple random crashes of the OS. After looking into fixes I was recommended to swap to nvidia drivers, and I followed a guide to install the AUR nvidia-470xx-utils. But this completely broke my drivers. Luckily I was able to use TTY to revert these changes and got the nouveau drivers reinstalled. With that background out of the way, I’m now dealing with some new issues. After logging in it now takes much longer to load the desktop and my whole system will randomly reboot. I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I am happy to post any more info or clarify points, I’m still very new to a lot of this. Here is my gpu readout when I run lspci -v: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK107M [GeForce GT 650M Mac Edition] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Apple Inc. Device 00fc Flags: fast devsel, IRQ 16 Memory at c0000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] Memory at 90000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] Memory at a0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=32M] I/O ports at 2000 [size=128] Expansion ROM at c1000000 [disabled] [size=512K] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel modules: nouveau, nvidia_drm, nvidia

Somehow, living a stressful life of uncertainty causes mental strain 🤔 good to have actual evidence to back it up though.
My parents were so against video games I legitimately got a jump scare when my FIL asked my about Skyrim last thanksgiving.
This whole thing feels like another Synology moment…
Does Ladybird have a release date yet?
10 years ago I didn’t think we would ever get a third 28 days movie… and now we’re getting a trilogy!
It’s about as engaging as reading the Wikipedia synopsis…
