Edit: here is some context because people are getting mad
the reason i asked because my friend asked me to install linux on his laptop because he wanted to look like a cringey hacker so i installed it but after i installed linux few days after he reinstalled windows(i am not sure why but he said he can’t run bluestack, i suggested other VMs but he wouldn’t have any other way but that’s not reason i think he switched he was being dismissive) and now his mic and web cam is not working and some other stuff, so he’s asking me again to reinstall linux constantly and i don’t want to do that again (why? My school is far from my home around 9km/5.5 and i go there by my bicycle so after school I don’t wanna waste my time installing linux)so i was just ranting didn’t expect to make people mad
I use arch too and dualboot with windows.
How are you updating drivers without sign in?
I have a local account in windows.
I see the AUR as suspicious until I establish a basic form of trust for what I want just like most .exe files and installers, I’d recommend you take this approach to the AUR too as it fundamentally is an obvious untrusted source.
Nvidia disallows driver or any GPU update till you finally logged in
Sorry, I’ve never had to sign in to anything to be able to download and install an nVidia driver. I’ve been using their cards for decades. No idea where/how you’re getting them. Geforce experience is an optional add on if that is what you talk about.
I think you are right. Still I and many friends think this way because the game ready driver is the only convinient way to update it without revisiting the nvidia webpage for the newest driver.
For convenience online there is always a trade off, When I do my update runs on windows each month this is one of my bookmarks. If I can’t be arsed I use SDI origins.
