Desktop: Plasma wayland
I’ve tried:

Installing removing nvidia-vulkan-dkms nvidia-vulkan-utils
mkinitcpio -P
Updating GRUB with nvidia-drm.modeset=1 (but it doesnt let the desktop enviroment load so i deleted it
i saw that some could just use pacman -S nvidia for most drivers but i keep getting a not found
i used yay to install new driveres like option 11 but it wont download because of lib32-vulkan-driver
and i cant seem to get kscreen to change it properly (im prob just stupid)
lsmod | grep nvidia gives nothing

Problem: resolution is wrong and its using llvmpipe and says that my monitor can only support 1280x1024? there is a small chance that my gpu isnt being used but idk

context: yea so i couldnt add non steam games to steam so i tried to fix it and did a few updates reinstalled steam and noticed plasma was being wonky so restarted and blam. everything was working fine until then (about 2 months or so)

i attempted to make it more readable

#

If it says the renderer is llvmpipe that 100% verfies that your gpu isnt being used

#

Your GPU recently got its support slashed so I believe you need to completely switch your driver packages

Yeah. Its really unfortunate Nvidia cut support for Pascal.
