nvidia 418 and optimus manager login loop

[themvl]

I tried installing 418 driver on my optimus laptop because the 418 driver supports vulkan while the 380xx driver from official repos does not yet. And is the newest driver for my card. This is absolutely necessary to play the gross of my bought games. So is pretty important to me.

The installation was successful after downgrading my kernel to 5.4. But i am using optimus manager and if i try to switch to nvidia it logs out like normal and the led for my nvidia card burns most of the logs seem to say the module loaded successfully. But i get in a login loop in gdm. Every time i try logging in i get a black screen for a few seconds and then throws me back to the login screen.

Tell me if im forgetting some logs.
