That's the thing about Manjaro is that you just choose proprietary and also during a kernel change to a new one Manjaro also updates the kernel headers and the nvidia drivers to the ones that work with that kernel.

I updated the drivers myself foolishly following the online guides to get smplayer with mvp to use graphic acceleration, spent 2 days then realized I fucked the entire system up and reinstalled Manjaro then went to the arch wiki and found Manjaro was using video acceleration with a simple terminal command and just set smplayer to VAPAU for the regular and hardware dropdowns and it ran great.

I made a huge good move though, I disconnected my 4k tv and put the old hdmi back on. Linux has got to get their shit together more on 4K since I couldn't even get Mint to boot the 4K tv while the advanced hardware version of MX booted up fine. Hit or miss with some hardware.
