Hi,
Just installed Garuda KDE on a 10 year old computer with a nvidia GTX680 card.
I understood that I needed to install a driver and found this
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-470.94.run
Tried to install it and found out that I needed to disable/blacklist the nouveau driver. I desperately tried to follow a few Arch instructions to do this but without success.
How can I disable/blacklist nouveau in Garuda?
