And I only recently learned that a separate vimdiff command exists (not that it makes a difference over vim -d)…

Arch live ISO gives you arch-chroot which does all the binds automatically

That isn’t neccessary. nvidia-open automatically replaced nvidia (same for nvidia-open-dkms, nvidia-open-utils etc) when 590 hit and installing any of those nvidia-580xx packages will ask to remove them because they conflict.

It should be illegal to use pacman without pacman-contrib installed for checkupdates (no risk of partial upgrades) and for comparing and merging .pacnew-files with pacdiff…

While the distinction can be important, the snapshots from right before the update are exactly what you want in this case over some actual but always somewhat outdated real backup

“Doesn’t help” is a bit unspecific for an actual answer.

I simply installed nvidia-580xx-dkms and nvidia-580xx-utils and that was all. If you did not already use the dkms-driver package before you of course also need <your kernel>-headers and dkms (but the latter should be pulled as a dependency for nvidia-580xx-dkms anyway)…

Which automatically asks for the removal of nvidia-open (the standard package for the base linux kernel) or nvidia-open-dkms and nvidia-open-utils that replaced the earlier nvidia, nvidia-dkms, nvidia-utils packages when 590 hit.

PS: If you still have stuff using 32bit add (you might have guessed the scheme by now…) lib32-nvidia-580xx-utils to replace lib32-nvidia-open-utils

nvidia was automatically replaced with nvidia-open (also nvidia-open-lts, nvidia-open-dkms etc).

Simply installing nvidia-580xx-dkms, nvidia-580xx-utils (and lib32-nvidia-580xx-utils because Steam still needs all that 32bit stuff), which automatically removes the 590-open stuff because of conflicts, should be all you need to do.

PS: And of course your kernel’s header package if you did not use dkms before… (dkms should be pulled as a dependency automatically)

“We want to show the automotive industry that sustainable and practical design really is achievable”

Funny to think they don’t know already. But sustainable isn’t the goal, maximising profits is.

There is a fuse driver to directly mount it using the google API…

“Users will stop suggesting Linux as a realistic alternative to Windows for non-technical users”

Then their users will simply be wrong…

Non-technical users don’t have any problems with Linux as an alternative. They don’t know nor care what is running on their PC as long as they can click on icons opening the handful of basic programs they actually use.

It’s the pseudo-technical users that think their constant MS indoctrination means they are the pinacle of experienced PC users that are the problem.

That’s okay. Thanks to their insane pricing caused by covid, followed by more insane pricing caused by the AI bubble, many people are still running cards not getting any new drivers anyway.

Back then it was for many simply the first rolling distro they tried… to suddenly realize that without tedious (and rarely unproblematic) release upgrades the reasons for a new install (thus trying out yet another distro) also vanished.

But just like in Germany in the 1930s or with the US’ GOP more recently conservatives will always protect far-right lunatics as allegedly useful tools. Up the the point when they get eaten up by these radicals and then all neatly fall in line.

Just set the timezone environmental parameter accordingly. Librewolf might pretend to be in UTC but doesn’t care if the time given by your system is wrong to get the correct time again.

Oh, they really fixed this.Didn’t notice as Librewolf is only my backup.

And if you try often enough it maybe even be a working one…

Joke aside…

Who has not reached that “just say yes so they shut up”-point with some people?

Same… but I also remember a single outage in the last 15 or so years.

At least in my experience the chances that I move or replace hardware are much higher than the chances for a power outage.

I really love all my various Pis but at the moment there are so many refurbished servers available (thank Windows 11) as well as several small form factor x86 PCs that a Raspberry Pi 5 sadly is on the lower end of performance/cost.
