If you are concerned with security, you can install postmaster or any other firewall force block all the internet connection and deny all the connections and then manually start allowing apps and process access to internet.

It’s an annoying process. It takes a lot of time to set up, but once it gets going, you will be mostly secure from this type of attack.

So, sort of security over convenience.

hmm well i never had this specific issue and im not an expert in driver issue.

SO TL;DR I cant help you. sorry.

BUT (AND I KNOW IT SOUNDS DUMB or you might be doing it already)

I would recommend you do some A/B testing.

keep your setup the same and change only one thing at a time (like driver version, Wayland vs X11, kernel options, or compositor) so you can pinpoint exactly which change is causing the problem.

Maybe take a look into nvidia-{open,dkms,beta, etc} packages.

or something else entirely.

This might help you to at least get your system going so you can do your Video editing, graphic design, 3d modelling etc. If u want to get your system up and going right now(deadlines or something else) its not a bad idea to temporarily install windows and attack this problem later in free time with no pressure.

I hope you find a solution to the problem.

First Never download and install nvidia drivers from their websites (unless you know what you are doing).

second glitching is a broad term what do you mean by glitching?

screen tear, artifacts, ghosting???

We gonna need more data as in logs.

but i would recommend you follow proper steps from arch wiki.

But i know everybody dont like to read so this might help https://youtu.be/vrFPcCYUj2c (this is still sort of my polite way to say RTFM)
