Sorry to know this thread didn't help you. This thread only deals with
the touchpad issue and it's too long to follow. But I've summarized
what's needed in the beginning of the bug report. As far as I know, the
fix for the touchpad doesn't affect nvidia issue. In fact, I don't
experience any of the issues you mentioned including external monitor
not detected and brightness issue on Manjara with kernel=5.11.6-1
after installing optimus manager [1]. [1] is "a port to Archlinux of the
nvidia-prime solution created by Canonical for Ubuntu" so I assume the
issues of external monitor and brightness don't bother Ubuntu users
either.
