Which ISO version are you using?

The installation log

Nothing of note, everything is smooth
Archinstall 4.3 latest

describe the problem

When trying to install sway + nvidia proprietary drivers (open version since fully proprietary is no longer available) you get a menu saying "sway does not support nvidia proprietary drivers are you ok with that ? "
Option defaults to "no" but if you want that choice you are supposed to answer "yes".
The thing is that it is the "no" option that actually allows you to select the proprietary drivers and not the "yes".

You also get the warning if you select the other nvidia driver "nouveau" which is fully open source which is not intended behavior as it is actually recommended by the sway team
