Vertical screen not working properly (EndeavourOS)

that's an nvidia issue for sure. When I had my nvidia laptop, I had nothing but issues with it.

However... you need to install the nvidia drivers and nvidia-settings. There you can configure the monitors and it should work as expected.

edit:

It’s on me for choosing a broken distro but I kinda like it otherwise

There's nothing broken with EndeavourOS. I've had it for a long time and it served me well

I fixed it, somehow the drivers I got from running

nvidia-inst

Showed some incompatibility, I restored the OS and installed the drivers from a difference source

What’s strange was the fact that many other users reported the same problems but they weren’t able to find a fix, even when using alternative drivers.

what other source did you use? If you mean, you downloaded the drivers from nvidia website, etc... pls don't do that.

the goto-way on Linux is to always use the package manager, simce this makes it easier to keep everything up to date.

If however, you did use pacman, than that's all fine. nvidia-inst is just a wrapper for some other things that need to be taken care of.

Also, nvidia is known to be troublesome on Linux, so it always needs some manual intervention here and there.
