How to install nvidia driver & steam ?
Do I install them on the container or base os ?
And for nvidia driver when I boot the os the nvidia gpu don't output anything! So I have to use the cpu output is there any workaround?

sudo pacman -S nvidia-dkms steam
you need the drivers first
install the drivers and reboot
base os
using the command provided aboveIts said "target not found steam"
sudo pacman -S steam-runtimeSame probelm!
are you using pacman
Yup
@SniperKW enable multilib
sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf
scroll to the bottom, remove the # on the multilib section
steam is in the multilib repo
which you need to enable
for some reasonDo you know how to update the system? I tried
Blend system-update & pacman -Syu both didn’t work !
sudo pacman -Syu
You have to have the sudo
I did but that didn't work!
what did it say
good god when you say something doesn't work PROVIDE THE ERROR
Sorry 🫢
I did see someone in discord say the package repo is down might be the reason ?
Huh
It’s not

from what I gather there is a conflict between nvidia's drivers and mesa
I have an idea, have installer ask if the user wants to install open sourced or proprietary nvidia drivers
because those two don't like each other
also, nvidia's x server is basically empty and non functional
I like this os but these are things that are kind of frustrating
sorry
I was dumb and forgot to run -Syy
it installed now
Did you enable multilib
yes, and I installed the drivers and they were still incomplete. It's not entirely your fault. Nvidia is infamous for shitty linux support. what I would do is look into how Garuda and/or Manjaro does it.
I'm going read up on that too because I don't know how they got it running as smooth (it's still leaves a lot to be desired) as they did
Manjaro does it with old packages that break the system
Technically everybody just uses Nvidia-dkms
And that works
For arch based distros
that's what I thought. That's exactly what I installed. However, nvidia-xconfig didn't have any of the expected features. I couldn't change the resolution, or open-gl settings, set cool-bits. in both the gui and in terminal.
makes sense that the way manjaro does is by using broken packages.
sounds like them
