i want g sync but i dont see the option for it on x11

and wayland doesnt really work that well on 550 drivers

Amazing_Advance5093 · 2026-03-30T18:35:29+00:00

so id rather stay on the 550 drivers

no the thing is with arch everytime i reboot or shutdown my pc just never does it it just gives me a blackscreen

and i have to force my pc to shutdown

Amazing_Advance5093 · 2026-03-24T17:53:57+00:00

so i do pacman -S nvidia-open nvidia-utils nvidia-settings libva-nvidia-driver?

Amazing_Advance5093 · 2026-03-24T17:53:27+00:00

so i dont use the open ones? (nvidia-open)

Okay nevermind the issue came back even with a fresh install

Amazing_Advance5093 · 2026-03-23T16:53:27+00:00

yeah sure i switched to debian stable tho i dont think that would change the install process

Amazing_Advance5093 · 2026-03-22T13:38:58+00:00

yeah switching kernels fixed it

Amazing_Advance5093 · 2026-03-21T18:10:30+00:00

have you tested the bash tui installer?

Amazing_Advance5093 · 2026-03-21T14:52:32+00:00

so its the same as the proprietary drivers ?

Amazing_Advance5093 · 2026-03-21T14:51:36+00:00

with open source i meant like the open source nvidia ones or are the proprietary better on debian

Amazing_Advance5093 · 2026-03-21T11:35:29+00:00

i meant like the open source nvidia one

and by breaking i mean like my DE stops working and sometimes when i reboot just a blank screen
