tdrop VS nvidia-all

tdrop is wm agnostic (I use it in dwm), very easy to set up and does the same thing.

tdrop

Let us start with the terminal itself. Alacritty is a cross-platform modern terminal emulator with sensible defaults. It is GPU accelerated, super fast, and highly configurable. You can use it on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It doesn't have much in terms of a UI, and hence all configurations are done through YAML files. I don't use it as my primary terminal as I love Yakuake too much for all its cool features. We can get most of those features (tabs, split panes, dropdown mode) using tmux and tdrop if really needed. I use Alacrity when I need speed and GPU acceleration. There is an excellent tutorial on using Alacritty with tmux.

tdrop is de/wm agnostic and can make most terminals a drop down terminal.

I've been using tdrop for about a year and not knowing how to get rid of the green bar it put at the bottom. Well, now that's fixed and I've learned to use tmux to switch between newsboat, cmus, lf, etc. -TY!

You can also use tdrop to turn any terminal into a dropdown terminal

So it's pretty clear what happens and why. I'm using tdrop, a little tool that allows you to use any terminal emulator as a drop-down terminal/scratchpad. Calling tdrop terminal with some parameters will show a terminal window, calling it again will hide it. I've bound this to a key, let's say HOTKEY.

- rollback the driver using github.com/Frogging-Family/nvidia-all and get rev530.41.03-250.

The TKG DKMS package already has an open issue, and it seems like there's a patch for it. Looks like you'll need to manually patch it, though.

Have a look at nvidia-all

Stay with Endeavour. Install the DKMS Nvidia drivers from https://github.com/frogging-family/nvidia-all

git clone https://github.com/frogging-family/nvidia-all cd nvidia-all makepkg -si

If the installer detects no nvidia GPU then it wont install the driver, but you could just reinstall the system and keep your /home directory (your games and stuff) or you install the driver beforehand via nvidia-all aio installer and follow nvidia do's and don'ts from the archwiki. But be warned gamemode is laggy with nvidia (desktop big picture is fine), because valve hasn't enabled video acceleration for nvidia in gamemode yet.

Or you could just clone https://github.com/frogging-family/nvidia-all and run makepkg -si from the directory. Choose your wanted driver branch and choose non-open and WITH dkms when prompted. That will allow you to also use custom kernels (DKMS I mean)

But mainly I use Frogging Family's github for my kernels and Nvidia drivers. https://github.com/Frogging-Family/nvidia-all Couple commands, a reboot and I'm up for gaming again. Mainly I use this github for more up to date drivers. And you can test the opensource part or vulkan drivers. Vulkan and the normal DKMS driver works fine for me.
