Arch Linux - News: NVIDIA 590 driver drops Pascal and lower support; main packages switch to Open Kernel Modules

@archlinux Driver successfully changed to use the legacy #DKMS variant. I’m not giving up my perfectly fine working #GTX1080.

#PSA: Don’t forget to install linux-headers, too, when installing the #AUR package for the DKMS variant of the driver.

(I forgot that and was stuck with 1024x768 resolution, oops πŸ˜„)

You can check if the module was loaded with dkms status:

% dkms status nvidia/580.119.02, 6.18.1-arch1-2, x86_64: installed

… now waiting for 590 to drop as DKMS package.
