Installing nvidia drivers on Arch Linux

  1. Enable multilib repository in /etc/pacman.conf
  2. sudo pacman -Syu nvidia nvidia-settings lib32-nvidia-utils for standart linux kernel. If you use other kernel like lts or zen use sudo pacman -Syu nvidia-dkms nvidia-settings lib32-nvidia-utils
  3. You need to install package from AUR optimus-manager. I recommend to use yay. Tutorial how to install is here! yay -S optimus-manager
