I'm running Garuda. My laptop screen is on its very last legs. I have an external monitor that connects via USB-C. It has a Display Port connection, but the laptop itself does not. I'm using HDMI to connect to a larger display, but not having two monitors available is driving me insane. I know that the firmware supports display over USB-C, since it has worked before on previous distros and on Windows. My issue is that I can't get the system to recognize the display, and I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting.

I can post whatever dumps etc. if asked, but here's a neofetch screenshot screenshot for starters:

Are there packages I need to install? Drivers? I'm clueless and would really appreciate a starting point at the least. The last thing I need is a broken system because I'd have to use the (almost) entirely broken laptop screen to attempt a reinstall/change the BIOS.
