I know there’s already plenty of other topics for this, like Nvidia-dkms fails to build, but I tried everything I could find without sucess.
I used snapshots, I tried the reinstall all packages from Garuda Settings, I had paru reinstall the dkms (this worked, but after that, trying the garuda-update still fails).
From the tail of garuda-update:

Error! Your kernel headers for kernel 6.8.1-arch1-1 cannot be found at /usr/lib/modules/6.8.1-arch1-1/build or/usr/lib/modules/6.8.1-arch1-1/source.
Please install the linux-headers-6.8.1-arch1-1 package or use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located.

and, of course, the inxi (yeah, it says I need to reset, I know)

going thru other threads again, namely this one Nvidia DKMS failed to build - #2 by edu4rdshl reminded me that I had tried paru linux-headers-6.8.1-arch1-1 before and ended up empty handed, but I did not try paru linux-headers… doing it now.
But shouldn’t this already be installed? I mean, as you can see from the inxi, I just did a fresh install 12 days ago… and everything was working nicely (except for those wayland stuff, I’m back on X11)
