Just wait for the kernel module to arrive in the repositories.

Ah that's what it is. Of course!

I recommend switching to nvidia-dkms which will auto rebuild the module for every kernel and lets you update them independently of each other.

I know my Pop!_OS install pulls Nvidia drivers and modules using flatpak. I don't know the pros and cons of this method, but I've assumed it's more robust due to decoupling of dependencies.

What is your opinion on flatpak vs pacman for proprietary Nvidia drivers?

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago

I am philosophically against duplicating similar libraries, so I don't use flatpak. Insufferable, I know
