Story summary
  • Arch Linux has discontinued support for Nvidia GTX 10-series GPUs, following Nvidia's July announcement.
  • The distribution now uses Nvidia driver version 590 as the default, which does not support Pascal GPUs.
  • Users can still install older Nvidia drivers via Nvidia-580xx-dkms, or use a legacy Arch User Repository (AUR) driver, though updates with unsupported GPUs can cause driver failures.
  • AMD GPUs continue to receive strong support from the open-source community.
