  • Why the dkms version on arch? iirc the wiki recommends not using it, and from personal experience I’d take the pacman version over dkms any day. If there’s any compatibility differences I’m not aware of them, and ime the stability is way better with the pacman version (tho I’ve never used the same driver versions on both, so take that with a grain of salt). I’d bet nouveau is way more likely to solve your issue, but if you want to keep native performance too maybe try nvidia-open rather than dkms


  • If you have plasma installed you already have x11 installed, so you should be able to switch to an x11 session on login even if just to test this without having to install anything else

    • signed, someone who has spent an embarrassing amount of hours trying to find a way to remove x11 dependence from my system












  • Re: your second question, I’m not at my pc rn so can’t give full details, but I’m running plasma on Wayland in arch using a nvidia card (3080) and everything’s flawless since the 555 driver update with explicit sync. Only thing that comes to mind is checking to see if you’ve set the nvidia-drm modeset=1 kernel parameter?

    Also seconding @Bigfish’s suggestion about heat, try watching your temps while you game maybe? I’d also watch ram usage just in case something’s got a memory leak and is pushing you into swap.
