I guess we should update the database now?

I only checked Brodie's video: https://youtu.be/2-obijeo_bU?si=RuWGBTz5A7dM8M1K

I have a laptop with a 1080 but im too scared to update lol. Maybe we can try to automate it or something?

[kRHYME7]

@Prof-Shiba what architecture is that? Arch will blindly update the nvidia-dkms to nvidia-open-dkms

if 1080 is nv130 then before updating your system, be sure to install yay -S nvidia-580xx-dkms nvidia-580xx-utils

optional: lib32-nvidia-580xx-utils for 32bit

HyDE is user space so we won't be touching existing systems.

But maybe we will be adding a Discussion for the instructions on how to migrate.

I migrated this morning and everything is fine. Basically installing the equivalent aur packages.

For cachy or other archbase distros maybe the maintainers will handle it for you.
