@Torxed I don't have a merge button here, can you push this in too, instead of just approving? Thanks. |

Fixes #4284
The
nvidia-dkmspackage has been removed from the Arch repos as of the 590 driver release. TheNvidiaProprietarydriver option is now broken since it tries to install a package that no longer exists.This removes the option entirely since it was functionally identical to
NvidiaOpenKernel(both install dkms + libva-nvidia-driver), just pointing at a package that no longer exists. Saved JSON configs that reference the old option will get a clear error directing users to use the open kernel module instead.
