Hey guys, i might want to switch my distro from arch linux since i am having a lot of problems.

what i would like for it to be like: Fast, stable, customisable, option for kde plasma, just works, i want my proprietary drivers for 1080 ti to work.

what i will do on it: i will make it a retro gaming machine/daily use machine, i would like to use retroarch or retrobat, i will use it for daily use like watching movies and youtube, just testing out some open source software, and just exploring more of linux

Hey guys, i dont know if this is the proper channel for this but here it goes.

I have installed many distros along my likux journey but all of them had one problem, the nvidia drivers. I have not gotten the proprietary drivers to work, it has either started using nouveau or no drivers at all, i really want to play some games on likux like cs2 since that is a game i like to play on my free time, i have tested blacklisting nouveau, removing all previous drivers, re-installing drivers and a lot more things, none of them worked, so if i may ask, could you please help?

also to add which is not related to this but i want to install retroarch so i can play retro games on my pc that are more demanding than what the pc in my living room can handle.

my gpu: 1080 ti my distro currently: arch linux problem: no proprietary drivers

EDIT: the drivers i have tried using are 535, 580 and one more which i cant seem to remember but i know now that the newest ones dont have support for the 1080 ti
