This isn’t a guide, just something i think may help. To install Steam on an Arch-based distro in most of the cases a simple sudo pacman -S steam will do just fine.

The installation will ask you to select a valid vulkan package from a list. And in most of the cases that’s just fine… most of them.

Then you have your very “picky” old nvidia GPU which works only with a specific old nvidia driver and if you try to install anything else, there will be a conflict. Now you can try to remove the old (working) drivers and try your luck. But looking online i find a simple way to skip this passage and install Steam.

sudo pacman -S steam --assume-installed lib32-vulkan-driver

    There’s a big difference between “there’s no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism,” and “these guys are making autonomous killing machines carrying out a genocide.”

    I’m not pro-corporate anybody (see username), but if we can’t stick up a big middle finger to genocide profiteers, to whom can we?
