Lol, when there is a discussion about anti cheats there are always the usual dudes talking about server sided anti cheats.... You simply don't know what you are talking about

Quoting: SteveFox1620It's pay to win garbage. Why would they care if you pay them on windows or linux?
I don't think Apex is pay 2 win. Why do you think it's pay 2 win?
Simply he doesn't play Apex, or played once got killed immediately and now is a "pay to win"

Quoting: SolarwingAMD ftw!!!!!! NVIDIA for the losers!!! Even an ameba understands this!:smile: So all who owns an NVDIA card have lower IQ than an ameba (Including myself because I have an NVIDIA card in my secondary windows rig!:happy:) how nice:smile:! But in a serious mannner speaking this NVIDIA open source driver is a bit late. Well hopefully we see a rapid development soon. Only Open source can make it possible.:smile:
Grow up...calling people looser and ameba is not for winners.

EA AntiCheat could spell trouble for Steam Deck / Linux

Quoting: GuestSadly this is like a million other topics in society where the problem would be fixed real quick if people stopped buying/supporting crap. Anti-Cheat is also a decent chunk of why I won't buy online games anymore even if I ran Windows. It's an arms race of stupidity where the innocent are guilty and the guilty are guilty. Like a BDSM dungeon of idiots flogging their own genitals because master said so.
I totally do not understand your statements, is like that you are saying "cheating online could be stopped if people do not buy crap games" (I suppose you are referring "crap" to games with anticheats). To me sounds like: "we can stop car accidents removing insurances"..or.. "stop criminals removing the police" Same for the next line... To me all this thread has been floated with no sense, hate and cheap slogan. I was just wondering, am I on reddit?

git clone https://github.com/Frogging-Family/nvidia-all.git
cd nvidia-all
makepkg -si


and it lets you interactively pick the custom driver number when its not added into the scripts yet.

Spoiler, click me
it gave me this message
"A (correctly made?) linux-headers package can't be found.
If you're sure it's installed, blame your kernel maintainer."
after that it fails the installation
do you have any idea?
update 1: I am trying to update the kernel to a more recent release, let's see
Update 2 : I also installed the headers required with the new kernel, now the installation did not gave me any error, except it asks to resolve some "conflict" where I answered always "yes", now Linux won't arrive in the DE session... Lol.
update 3 another shot
:: nvidia-dev-dkms-tkg and linux515-nvidia are in conflict (nvidia). Remove linux515-nvidia? [y/N]
what the heck I am suppose to do, these are the kind of thing that make me think that i should be just a windows user
linux515-nvidia what is that? Is that not Arch package or something? Could be problem with the distro packages you have. Probably packaged differently.
Never experienced issues with this tkg installer.

Ahh ye. it seems manjaro.. i thought they have driver packages from arch. but it seems they are doing their own thing with those...
The problem is ,if I am not "installing" this headers the installation blames the kernel that have not the headers.
If I install it , then it will complain that there is a conflict, wich I answer "ok resolve the conflict" and then bum at the reboot no DE, now I am following this guide [External Link] let's see if something change
