I’m no expert but it’s fairly easy to mitigate.

From https://archlinux.org/news/nvidia-590-driver-drops-pascal-support-main-packages-switch-to-open-kernel-modules/

Intervention required for Pascal/older users: Users with GTX 10xx series and older cards must switch to the legacy proprietary branch to maintain support: Uninstall the official nvidia, nvidia-lts, or nvidia-dkms packages. Install nvidia-580xx-dkms from the AUR

Translates to:

sudo pacman -Rdd nvidia nvidia-lts nvidia-dkms

yay -S nvidia-580xx-dkms

In attempting this, I still had a conflict with lib32-nvidia-utils, so this should work better:

sudo pacman -Rdd nvidia nvidia-lts nvidia-dkms lib32-nvidia-utils

yay -S nvidia-580xx-dkms lib32-nvidia-580xx-utils

Using yay -Syy nvidia-580xx-dkms lib32-nvidia-580xx-utils means you don’t have to manually approve these replacement packages in the process, I think?

EndeavourOS, BTW

That’s a good one, but later into the arrest, Dozsa asked the cops if they were “waiting to receive his limp penis”. 😂

My family still runs two of this mobo, but older revisions. I remember hearing about bugs with IOMMU but I can’t recall any USB or other problems.

IOMMU can be disabled in BIOS; it seems that it would only be useful if passing devices through to a virtual machine? Is that a valid assessment?
