Edit: “Updating to the legacy 580xx drivers doesn’t show me a desktop anymore”, just in case someone else can stumble upon this by searching something similar.
Thanks to @deadcade@lemmy.deadca.de and @Ooops@feddit.org I did try fixing it out of curiosity. I had forgotten to install linux-headers. Hopefully someone who actually has the same problem as me, and needs to fix it, can use the tips given in the comments. On my end, I just had to install linux-headers and one reboot later it worked.
Always check if you have all needed packages and don’t just “remember” that you had them installed.
Distro hopped recently. Loving it.
Now I get to say “I use Arch, btw” while still having nfi what I’m doing.
I like diving into the deep end and drown a few times too.
Have you heard of .pacnew files yet?
It should be illegal to use pacman without
pacman-contribinstalled forcheckupdates(no risk of partial upgrades) and for comparing and merging.pacnew-files withpacdiff…It was today when I first heard of it!
Using Arch for ~7 years or so! Both servers and desktops. Always just manually
vimdiff’ed things.
