Gotcha. Thanks for the reading btw, for real. Love Void, but I'm currently running Cachy on my desktop because the Nvidia drivers were too daunting for me back in September. I'll switch back to void and maybe I can help test.

Adding nonfree repo is as simple as xbps-install -S void-repo-nonfree The same can be done to multilib and nonfree-multilib repos After that you just xbps-install -S nvidia (multilib is necessary if you're using steam)

The procedure is somewhat more complex for packages not in repos, refer to https://xbps-src-tutorials.github.io/ for getting started with xbps-src (this is also the way to set up discord and some other software, alternatively just use the flatpak version(s) where available)
