Arch Linux kills off Nvidia Pascal GPU support — users still running GTX 10-series graphics cards will have to manually install older drivers

Arch Linux has decided to discontinue support for Nvidia Pascal GPUs, specifically the GTX 10-series, due to Nvidia's decision to end default support for these cards. Users with GTX 10-series cards will need to manually install older Nvidia drivers to continue using them with Arch Linux. This move by Arch Linux reflects Nvidia's shift away from supporting older GPUs, limiting them to quarterly security updates until 2028. While Nvidia users may not have as many open-source support options as AMD users, older Nvidia cards can still provide competent performance in older and potentially future games.
