NVIDIA hardware install script installs unsupported driver on Pascal and older GPUs #3954

Description

System details

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 (affects GTX 10xx, 9xx, and older), Omarchy version: 3.2.3

What's wrong?

As of NVIDIA driver version 590, nvidia-dkms no longer supports Pascal or older GPUs (Arch Linux announcement).

Omarchy's NVIDIA install script currently selects nvidia-dkms for Pascal GPUs, which results in an unsupported driver and a broken graphical environment after upgrade.

The script should instead install the legacy proprietary branch nvidia-580xx-dkms (AUR) for these GPUs.

I’m happy to submit a patch for this issue.
