Arch Linux is among the first Linux distributions to officially discontinue support for the GTX 10-series GPUs, following Nvidia's July announcement that it would discontinue default support for the lineup. In an update on the Arch Linux website, the Linux distro is officially switching to Nvidia driver version 590 as the default driver for Nvidia graphics cards. It lacks Pascal support.
The good news is that users who still want to use Pascal or older GPUs with Arch Linux are not left with zero options. Arch users can continue using older Nvidia Linux drivers that support these GPUs by uninstalling the official Nvidia packages and installing the older "Nvidia-580xx-dkms" package.
