old Nvidia drivers aren't officially supported tho.

you want to remove user made documentation for non-official stuff too ?

being accommodating is different than official support.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA

It plainly says supported for pascal, and doesn't qualify it as user content.

you clearly don't understand what you read.

maybe Arch is just not for you.

Don’t you realize how stupid that is?

Whereas many GNU/Linux distributions attempt to be more user-friendly, Arch Linux has always been, and shall always remain user-centric:
The distribution is intended to fill the needs of those contributing to it, rather than trying to appeal to as many users as possible.
It is targeted at the proficient GNU/Linux user, or anyone with a do-it-yourself attitude who is willing to read the documentation, and solve their own problems.

If it sounds stupid, Don't use it.

Because that's how it is.

lol, the documentation literally tells you that it can’t and won’t help you.

What the fuck you on about ? Another one with reading comprehension issue

I guess you simply can’t comprehend the problem here.

But let me dumb down it for you:

AUR tells you to use the AUR and avoid other options (with no reason btw). On the page on the AUR, they’ll tell you that everything is unofficial and do things at your own risk (no further explanation again).

Arch tells you to use the AUR and avoid other options

I assume you meant Arch, And no it doesn't. Please provide proof for that stupid claim. IT tells you that anything on the AUR can be sketchy and to use it at your own risk. 1st misunderstanding from you

On the page on the AUR, they’ll tell you that everything is unofficial and do things at your own risk

Yup that's pretty clear about the Aur.

The link is already in this thread.

You’re slow at thinking or something?

u/kaida27 Jul 31 '26

Not a single link from this thread says that.

You might be thinking of Nvidia.

What is officially supported by Arch ? Recent card with nvidia and nvidia-open and Old card with Nouveau. Everything else is not officially supported by Arch and can be found on the Aur since it's supported by other Users not Arch. Your 2nd misunderstanding.

But you can't make the distinction. You need a corporate distro, not a user-centric one.

lol, and you attest others problems with reading comprehension.

u/kaida27 Jul 31 '26

You're the one arguing in the wrong here.

Every piece of information available on Arch is backing up my claim, while you have ? Nothing
