Edit: "Updating to the legacy 580xx drivers doesn't show me a desktop anymore", just in case someone else can stumble upon this by searching something similar.

Thanks to @deadcade@lemmy.deadca.de and @Ooops@feddit.org I did try fixing it out of curiosity. I had forgotten to install linux-headers. Hopefully someone who actually has the same problem as me, and needs to fix it, can use the tips given in the comments. On my end, I just had to install linux-headers and one reboot later it worked.

Always check if you have all needed packages and don't just "remember" that you had them installed.

Recovery's backup

[-] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 14 points 1 month ago

Blessed be CachyOS for setting that shit up for me automatically.

[-] Neptr@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 1 month ago

While I agree snapper (what CachyOS uses) I very useful, it is important to draw a distinction between snapshots (snapper) and a proper backup tool (borg or restic). Snapshots are usually stored on the same drive, so in the event of a drive failure/corruption you are still very fucked. Proper backup programs also have other important features, like the ability to select remote locations, setup encryption, etc. DO NOT rely on snapper to (always) save your ass.

That being said, I fucking love snapper and it was the main feature I was missing from openSUSE.

[-] Ooops@feddit.org 10 points 1 month ago

While the distinction can be important, the snapshots from right before the update are exactly what you want in this case over some actual but always somewhat outdated real backup

Snapper can save you from OS destruction, not disk destruction.

Distro hopped recently. Loving it.

Now I get to say "I use Arch, btw" while still having nfi what I'm doing.

[-] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 5 points 1 month ago

I like diving into the deep end and drown a few times too.

Have you heard of .pacnew files yet?

[-] Ooops@feddit.org 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It should be illegal to use pacman without pacman-contrib installed for checkupdates (no risk of partial upgrades) and for comparing and merging .pacnew-files with pacdiff...

[-] wltr@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It was today when I first heard of it!

Using Arch for ~7 years or so! Both servers and desktops. Always just manually vimdiff’ed things.

[-] Ooops@feddit.org 3 points 1 month ago

And I only recently learned that a separate vimdiff command exists (not that it makes a difference over vim -d)...
