From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

that's an nvidia issue for sure. When I had my nvidia laptop, I had nothing but issues with it.
However... you need to install the nvidia drivers and nvidia-settings. There you can configure the monitors and it should work as expected.
edit:
There's nothing broken with EndeavourOS. I've had it for a long time and it served me well
I fixed it, somehow the drivers I got from running
Showed some incompatibility, I restored the OS and installed the drivers from a difference source
What's strange was the fact that many other users reported the same problems but they weren't able to find a fix, even when using alternative drivers.
what other source did you use? If you mean, you downloaded the drivers from nvidia website, etc... pls don't do that.
the goto-way on Linux is to always use the package manager, simce this makes it easier to keep everything up to date.
If however, you did use pacman, than that's all fine. nvidia-inst is just a wrapper for some other things that need to be taken care of.
Also, nvidia is known to be troublesome on Linux, so it always needs some manual intervention here and there.
