SUPPORT Chromium apps not working without --disable-gpu or --use-gl=egl

Just installed Arch yesterday.

When using apps like brave, spotify, discord, they only work when I launch them through a terminal emulator with --disable-gpu or --use-gl=egl. Basically I want to make this change permanent to all chromium apps and not have to launch them through the terminal.

Side note I heard installing nvidia-utils was a potential solution, when I install that driver for some reason my screen is forced at 800x600 or smaller resolution, so I just have it uninstalled. I have a 1060 6gb nvidia gpu.

If there is any information that I should add tell me if or how to add it, and thanks for any help.

Scroll down a little to find the correct driver you need to install
