1. Changing drivers with Steam installed natively

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.

2. Hyprland NVIDIA surgery kit (can also work for other WMs/DEs)

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

3. Changing to 535 drivers

If you are experiencing issues with 545/550 drivers, you can try switching to nvidia-535xx-dkms (AUR).
