Nvidia GeForce 210 Manjaro 21

[semajtttttt]

Hello All! I have a Nvidia GeForce 210 graphics card. I have been going around from one forum to another to see if I can get the proprietary drivers installed for it. Seems 340 or 390 (ubuntu based) however I haven’t found a solid answer.

I have read that the kernels after 5.7 dropped support but I couldn’t confirm this definitively.

So I have a question: I am using Stable Manjaro KDE downloaded today, running Kernel 5.10, wanting to either

1. Download and install proprietary Drivers for the nvidia card I have.
2. Downgrade the kernel to a kernel supporting the older/legacy drivers of NVIDIA.

Any output you need, please let me know.
