Follow-up to the Nvidia pandemonium

In a previous post, I mentioned that my nvidia 4060 mobile and the 610 driver serie would crash with wayland.

Now, I have it working. Nvidia provides a program that will tell what to install:

$ nvidia-driver-assistant

It informs of what is needed to install.

$ nvidia-driver-assistant --list-supported-distros
The following are the currently accepted distribution aliases:
  amzn
  debian
  ubuntu
  fedora
  kylin
  azurelinux
  rhel
  rocky
  ol
  opensuse
  sles
  manjaro
  arch

and

$ nvidia-driver-assistant 
Detected GPUs:
  NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU - (pci_id 0x28E0)

Detected system:
  Manjaro Linux 

Please copy and paste the following command to install the open kernel module flavour:
  sudo pacman -S linux71-nvidia-open

and it works. Here it is:

$ kinfo
Operating System: Manjaro Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.7.4

Hopefully, this will help other people having problems installing nvidia drivers.
