NVIDIA 590 driver drops Pascal support

With the update to driver version 590, the NVIDIA driver no longer supports Pascal (GTX 10xx) GPUs or older.

Impact: Updating the NVIDIA packages on systems with Pascal, Maxwell, or older cards will not load the driver, which may result in a broken graphics environment.

Intervention required for Pascal/older users: Users with GTX 10xx series and older cards should switch to a legacy driver to retain support:

Install the official linuxXXX-nvidia-575xx, linuxXXX-nvidia-570xxor related DKMS packages.

Manjaro, like many other open source projects, relies on the generosity of its community donations and corporate sponsorships to support its growth and development.

Additional information

Python 3.14 information

You will need to rebuild any AUR Python packages that install or link files to site packages libpython3.13.so.

Print a list of packages that have files in them /usr/lib/python3.13/ :

pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.13/

Rebuild them all at once:*

pamac build $(pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.13)

Use rebuild-detector to see if anything else needs rebuilding:

 checkrebuild

* It is recommended to first clean your build cache with pamac clean --build-files
