RIP Perfectly Fine Nvidia GPUs On Arch Linux

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.

Just check out the latest announcements regarding nvidia cards and also check out the compatibility, cause recently drivers 590 rolled out for nvidia and they have been causing a hell lot of problems

#

Your card might become a legacy card and you'll have to install some different drivers

I don't see a sddm crash in the log

#

sudo systemctl stop sddm
sudo systemctl start sddm

#

Try this

#

And switch back to the tty with the dm in it

#

Should be 1

#

@snow hamlet

#

Switching sddm to wayland is worth a try
