Because native Steam depends on nvidia-utils
and lib32-nvidia-utils
(provide vulkan-driver
and lib32-vulkan-driver
respectively), you cannot replace these packages without removing steam first. You can simply remove steam
and then reinstall after everything works.
Read https://wiki.hyprland.org/Nvidia/. Some important side notes:
- "Fixing random flickering, nuclear method" is exactly what it says. It will nuke battery life and power usage, because your GPU will be forced to run in the highest power state.
- for DRM kernel mode setting, I recommend following the instructions on the Arch wiki instead: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA#DRM_kernel_mode_setting
If you are experiencing issues with 545/550 drivers, you can try switching to nvidia-535xx-dkms
(AUR).
