  • switch from nouveau to 390xx drivers xorg
    Next compile / install the AUR package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-390xx-dkms - I'd recommend using a helper app like paru to help installing updates for it easier. Reboot and the nvidia v390 kernel module should have loaded. Source: about 1 year ago
  • What goes into maintaining an Arch system?
    Many users also use an AUR helper, which makes it easier to install and upgrade packages from the AUR. Yay and paru are the most popular. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • How can I add aur in an arm arch Linux, is it with the same paru-bin located at https://aur.archlinux.org/paru-bin.git ????
    Paru-bin provides binaries for x86_64 and aarch64. If your device is not aarch64, you'll have to build paru from source. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • any solution for checkupdates-aur
    I use paru as my aur helper. It uses the same flags pacman does with additional ones if you want to handle only aur updates instead of both pacman packages + aur. Source: about 2 years ago
