Hello Everyone,
so I installed Linux and Endouveros and i clicked on NVIDIA and now i am in the system with gnome. But where is the x server and NVIDIA stuff? Do i need to install the drivers? I thought they were installed automatically =(
And which driver to I need to install and how? I see that there is a beta driver 560.31.02? Is it useable?
gnome uses wayland by default but you can choose Xorg from the login screen if you prefer that.
If you selected nvidia from the boot menu, they should be installed. Can you share the output of pacman -Q | grep nvidia from a terminal?
[robo@robo Steam]$ pacman -Q | grep nvidia

nvidia 555.58.02-16
nvidia-hook 1.5-2

i typed in nvidia-smi and i saw that i already had the nvidia driver. =)
but how i comes that i dont have the x-server application installed?
i guess i dont need it.
But it would be nice to know how to upgrade the drivers, or do they auto update when the repository is filled with the newest version?
do you know how i can enable raytracing and auto framegeneration?
i also recognize that my steam downloads are a bit slow =( compared to windows.
Yes, installed.
The x server is installed but gnome uses Wayland by default. You can switch to X from the login screen if you logout.
They will be updated with you normal system updates. Just run yay from a terminal and it will update everything on your system including the nvidia drivers.
