That is right: Even if Manjaro officially dropped it, you will still make use of your hardware investment!
I have it working on [Kernel-6.1.1-1-Manjaro], thanks to the tip from jlourenco27, for the steps I did after following the excellent instructions above – thank you codesardine!
- Install kernel-6.1 (or 6.0 for that matter), and follow every step that codesardine has outlined above, with one exception. Get the source [nvidia-340xx.git] from AUR instead of Manjaro. Since the above instruction entailed cloning as shown below, there will be a conflict in the directory location. You can clone to a new director in your local drive and then copy the file over to the originally cloned Manjaro file or simply delete the Manjaro nvidia-340xx-utils directory as I have shown with the rm command (trying type out basics for someone who is new to all of this)
git clone https://gitlab.manjaro.org/packages/extra/nvidia-340xx-utils.git
However you can simply delete the directory named [nvidia-340xx-utils].
rm -Rf nvidia-340xx-utils
and do this instead:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/nvidia-340xx-utils.git
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
In [/etc/default/grub] file you opened above, locate the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= and insert ibt=off. If you have other items on this line make sure you insert ibt=off before end quote mark"
sudo update-grub
sudo grub-mkconfig
