Not for quite a few games. Some lighter titles might get away with it, but not a lot.

Yeah, that’s what I did. But it didn’t drop to terminal because it was stuck on /dev/sda2: clean. At first I thought it hadn’t booted at all. Frankly I think that was simply the last thing my monitor got from the GPU before it simply gave up. So i had to switch to TTY manually. That is my best guess.


It’s quite an upgrade from my previous setup so I cannot tell you if it is good since my comparison is a 1050ti… But they’ve also made improvements to the drivers, even on windows as far as I remember.


I did and I am quite happy with the state of them. Also Linus himself is using a B580 so it can’t be that bad (he doesn’t game on it)


Honestly I would’ve much more appreciated it if they told me to RTFM /j (I already had) (I didn’t pay the slightest attention)


This is the way. I will edit the text of the meme to show the solution at the top. As I had said to another commenter, I could’ve sworn I had linux-headers installed. This is why you check even if you are sure you have a package. Hopefully someone having this issue will stumble upon it randomly.


Thank you very much. I could’ve sworn I had linux-headers installed. Frankly, I might’ve had them on a different device for some other reason. This is why you check your packages kids.


Already bought intel. I am quite fond of the B580.


Yessir. I did remove everything that was from the 590 driver before I installed everything from the legacy 580xx. I might have to load a kernel module somewhere, maybe. But the effort is not worth the payout. My data on the machine itself is not unrecoverable thankfully.


I have ext4 and efistub, and the attention span of a squirrel.


I was working on a little Intel NUC on the side that had memory issues. And during that I just sudo pacman -Syu on my main machine without thinking.
I did also read the announcement before upgrading which makes it even better IMO.


I did try that as well. The legacy drivers did install from the tty, still the system doesn’t see them, for lack of a better word. It is not a big issue though. I had already planned on upgrading since my current setup is very old.
Half of the new components have already arrived. The current PC will become a little home server running either Ubuntu or Debian most likely.
I just thought the situation was funny.


Hey so fyi, you’re using the thorn wrong. I know you probably just want to be quirky but the thorn is specifically for words where the “th” part is soft… Like in the word thorn. What you want is eth (ð).
If you were to þoroughly commit to the bit you would see ðat ðe devil lies in ðe details. Of course not one þought was put into ðis by you.
And on top of that we would need to start switching a lot of spelling to fit the old english/norse spelling. But ðæt is a different topic.
I use ext4, but the fix was just installing
linux-headers. I simply was of the impression that I had already installed those. Most likely I had installed them on one of my laptops and simply just had that vivid memory still in my head. Once I installed them the problem solved itself after a reboot.
