RIP Nvidia on Arch.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-obijeo_bU

Recently Arch Linux pushed the 590 NVIDIA drivers and with these they dropped support for Maxwell and Pascal GPUs, the 900 and 10 series GPUs and Arch Linux didn't implement a migration strategy for this so good luck with that.

That's strange.
While NVIDIA way back said those GPUs would be dropped by 580 or 581, tbat changed when MS extended Win10 support for general public until Oct 2026.... so I can't understand why this change. I realize the drivers are different and all between WinOS vs Linux but still.

Anyways I don't see a problem. No one should be on GTX GPUs at all anymore. If they are they aren't serious about gaming whatsoever and should stick to Win10 or maybe something like Ubuntu

And that, people, is yet another reason why, ON LINUX,
Radeon>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Nvidia

I have two affected gpus currently deployed on Arch linux - a GTX 980 and a GTX 1060 6gb. I just won't update them until the dust settles a bit. I may do a full OS re-install, that will take less time than messing around with the terminal.
