Hey there,
I have following problem when running the nvidia-inst command in terminal:
removing lib32-nvidia-utils breaks dependency 'lib32-vulkan-driver' required by steam.
I tried syncing my mirror and reinstalling steam from the nvida-util provider but i still get this error.
Fyi I have an amd cpu and nvida gpu (GTX 1060).
Iād appreciate your help
Welcome to the forum!
Could you show the full command you did and the full output?
I used nvidia-inst:

I wanted to update my drivers but i think this is the wrong way. I saw a forum post that says to just use yay, so I think i should stay with yay :')
Had the same issue in the past. I uninstalled steam first, then did the nvidia stuff and finally installed steam again. Worked for me that time.
Alright I will try that.
However this forum post i found (How do I update NVIDIA drivers?) say for updating drivers i can just use yay.
Yeah, nvidia-inst does not take steam into consideration. So as mentioned above, you need to solve the conflict manually by uninstalling the conflicting packages first.
And nvidia-inst is not meant for updating, but initial installing.
