## What it is
A community-maintained step-by-step guide for installing and configuring proprietary NVIDIA drivers on Arch Linux. It covers package selection by GPU generation and kernel type, multilib setup, and bootloader configuration.

## Use cases
- install nvidia drivers on arch linux
- which nvidia package for my gpu on arch
- set up nvidia dkms drivers on a custom kernel
- enable multilib and install lib32-nvidia-utils
- configure nvidia drivers with grub or systemd-boot
- guide for legacy nvidia cards like kepler on arch

## When to choose
- you run Arch Linux or an Arch-based distro with an NVIDIA GPU
- you want a curated, ordered walkthrough instead of piecing together wiki pages
- you need help matching driver packages to your GPU generation and kernel

## When to avoid
- you use a non-Arch distribution like Ubuntu, Fedora, or Debian
- you want the open-source nouveau driver instead of proprietary drivers
- you need automated driver management rather than manual instructions
