Hi, i'm new to archlinux, and i wanted to install nvidia legacy driver (390xx-dkms)
My gpu: nvidia quadro 2000
So i want to know the best choices for desktop environment or packages needed to make this work
Last time i tried to install the driver on arch with kde plasma it worked on x11 without problems(but x11 feels worse than wayland) and on wayland i get a black screen with blinking cursor, is that because of the driver being legacy and not supported by wayland? or did i do something wrong or need further configurations?
