Hello Arch Linux peeps,

I was browsing the Arch wiki and was re-reading the Nvidia sextion, and for my 3090 it states I should be using Nvidia-open/nvidia-open-dkms, however, I am using the proprietary ones.

What is best practice for switching to Nvidia-open-dkms?

Game performance is fine. It is the desktop performance that's the issue.
