nothing puts the fear of god into me like reinstalling nvidia drivers
really? like $install_command nvidia...very scary
this is someone that's never dealt with drivers for optimus lol, which I'm pretty sure is the main reason people hate nvidia on linux so much
I have it was boringly normal
5 years ago it was not a single command anywhere as far as I know. historic arch link since the history button was easy to find, but I think the process was similar elsewhere: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=NVIDIA_Optimus&oldid=523777
You misremember. Back in 2010 the command was optirun. Although more than one solution exists under the hood user friendly distros (not arch) generally had you right click on the game in your menu and select something like run with nvidia. Throughout the last like 14 years the 2 dominant things were optirun foo and prime-run foo
"yo why my screen green"
its the nvidia experience
"pacman -S nvidia"
Or preferably nvidia-tkg but that needs a git clone first
