NVIDIA GPU

Install NVIDIA and nvidia-prime using pacman

Use this script to run apps using the NVIDIA GPU. I called it /usr/bin/prime, so all I have to do is run 'prime <program>' or change the shortcut to force the use of the dGPU.

#!/bin/bash
__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=0 "$@"


Bumblebee/Optimus was a huge headache and I couldn't seem to get either to work properly, so I gave up and used the above method.

Fingerprint reader

Allegedly, libfprint-2-tod1-broadcomAUR is needed to enable the fprint, but I have not been able to get it to work
