Need help on installing NVIDIA drivers for old GPU. - eviltoast

I have a GeForce 210 GPU on an EndeavourOS computer. I use Noveau drivers, but some apps like Blender have a broken user interface, and KDE acts weird sometimes. I tried installing the proprietary NVIDIA drivers following the Archlinux wiki, but I did not have any display output at all. I also tried running the NVIDIA driver .run file, but it warned me about changing drivers, and I don’t know how to do that. I don’t think that I understand the steps in the wiki. I would also like to use Wayland on my computer.

    On ubuntu you can use the “apt-mark hold” command to keep certain packages from updating.

    Eg: sudo apt-mark hold nvidia-kernel-common-470-server
