So when I booted up my laptop today, I got pass the two times I was asked to put in my disk encryption/secure boot password, and then I just had a black screen with a “_” on the top left (I can move my mouse cursor though. This happened twice before I tried turning Secure Boot Control back on in the BIOS, and I managed to get back in. Unfortunately that does make the nvidia daemon fail for the unknown reasons mentioned before. Double checked by reenabling Secure Boot Control and it still happened. It’s weird, it worked fine beforehand, so I do not know by Secure Boot Control being off leads to this result:
One problem at a time please

You might be good to go without Packman or you might just need a few packages from that, see for instance this thread.
Adding zram might or might not help performance (and which performance?) but please don’t clutter this thread with unrelated problems.
Fair enough, thank you for answering my unrelated questions anyway. Unfortunately with Secure Boot Control off creating a black screen boot issue, I cannot test the commands you gave me.
