Nvidia-dkms and linux515-nvidia are in conflict (NVIDIA-MODULE)

I’m trying to install the nvidia for arch according to this website:

lutris/docs/blob/master/InstallingDrivers.md


## Ubuntu / KDE Neon / Other Ubuntu derivatives

### NVIDIA:

To get the latest NVIDIA drivers it is necessary to add the [Proprietary GPU Drivers PPA](https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa), enable 32 bit architecture (if you haven't already), update to refresh packages and then install the 515 driver and support for the Vulkan API (will be functional only if you have a [Vulkan capable GPU](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulkan_(API)#Compatibility)):

To do all of that, run this one command:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa && sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 && sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y nvidia-driver-515 libvulkan1 libvulkan1:i386

Reboot to apply changes.

_**Warning**: Please ensure your graphics card is supported by the 515 driver before installing._
_For a list of supported GPUs click here: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/186156/en-us_
    
_**Disclaimer**: Sometimes we forget to update the guide to reference the latest version of the NVIDIA driver._
_You can check the latest version of the Nvidia driver for your gpu here and then replace *515* in **nvidia-driver-515** with the first part of the version number (the one before the dot, **515**.48.07) that is actually latest: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx_

### AMD / Intel:

Which would be:

$ sudo pacman -S --needed nvidia-dkms nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils nvidia-settings vulkan-icd-loader lib32-vulkan-icd-loader
warning: nvidia-utils-520.56.06-2 is up to date -- skipping

warning: vulkan-icd-loader-1.3.226-1 is up to date -- skipping
warning: lib32-vulkan-icd-loader-1.3.226-1 is up to date -- skipping

However manjaro uses nvidia-utils but now wants to replace linux515-nvidia with nvidia-dkms. Which one should I keep?

$ sudo pacman -S --needed nvidia-dkms nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils nvidia-utils vulkan-icd-loader lib32-vulkan-icd-loader

:: nvidia-dkms and linux515-nvidia are in conflict (NVIDIA-MODULE). Remove linux515-nvidia? [y/N]

Manjaro is not Arch!

Why not our wiki Configure Graphics Cards - Manjaro
Since you already made use of the MHWD and when the proprietary drivers are installed automatically, then also the linux modules are installed.
Of course the

But if you want one in favor of the other, then you remove the one you don’t want to use.

Install Nvidia from Manjaro Setting Manager → Hardware
You already have what you need. Just use Lutris.

Don’t follow guides not meant for Manjaro if you don’t know anything about all of that.
